Hi Peter,

My wife is going to pursue her PhD in US in the coming months, and I'm working as part-time remote employee of a US startup, while owning a startup in India. What options do I have, which would allow me to visit her for 1-2 months, without affecting my work?

I've heard B1/B2 holders being questioned during entry after they stayed for a month during previous trips. As I'm not working full time for the US company, I'm not eligible for L1.

A B-1/B-2 visa would not allow you to work for the U.S. company while here or your Indian startup while here. It might seem like overkill but possibly get an O-1 through the U.S. company. There's no minimum amount of time that you must spend in the U.S.

How can US dictate an alien to not work for a foreign country while in US for visit?

Thank you, will try that option.
