Can I do business as an independent contractor with L2 visa?

Post Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:18 pm

My husband is being transferred from Canada to the United States by his employer. Our plan is for him to get an L1 visa, and for me to get the L2 visa.

I currently work as an independent contractor [IT consultant] in Canada. I am incorporated. I am trying to figure out what my options are for working as an independent contractor in the United States, with an L2 visa.

Can I:
a) Continue to do consulting work for my Canadian clients [Canadian companies], working remotely from the US? If so, will I have to pay US taxes on top of Canadian taxes?
b) Do consulting work for American companies, from within my Canadian corporation?

I would greatly appreciate any advice/input!

Thank you!
