what you do is, crank up your vpn, choose an European end-point and connect back to the US to do your work... lol... lol. I tell you.. american law is ridiculous... IT has gone global and they still have that ridiculous provision in the books. They are perfectly fine for us to milk the american IT cow from afar.. but don't you dare come spend that cheese in the contiguous USA... I think once an IT professional clearly shows ability to work remotely, they should be allowed free access to spend that cheese back in the economy which employs them.



Maybe what could help is if you operate under an LLC. (myself inc.), that way when you visit, you visit as a company... but I am not a lawyer.


Nobody visits as a company, such thing simply doesn't exist. And if you work under ESTA or B1/B2, you're violating the law.
