How to Legally Work Remotely for a U.S. Company
Hello all,
First of all thank you for providing this site for all of us who are lost in the multitude of information available out there.
My question refers for work eligibility and visa for a Romanian and Hungarian (double) citizen.
I have been in the US since 09 on a student visa F1 finishing my MBA. I have worked for one year under the OPT umbrella, which will expire on the 17th of Jan 2012.
The company i work for is willing to keep me on payroll once I return to Romania (telecom business, work remotely over the internet).
What type of visa do i need to be eligible to keep working even if not phisically present in the US?
Thank you,
epicx

A visa is simply a document you can use to demonstrate that you have been approved for entry into a country. The duration of your stay is defined by your I-94. If you're not in the U.S., you don't need any immigration documents to work for a U.S. firm.
