Background:
A company in US has hired me for analyzing, designing and development of their Computer Systems.
Last week, my TN for Computer Systems Analyst was denied (as I've a non-Computer degree), however was indicated by the CBP officer that I would qualify under another category (i.e. Management Consultant); however, then I couldn't do the 'development' part of the assignment.

The US company has since agreed to still retain me for this truncated role (very nice of them); and are in the process of issuing me revised documents - a contract and support letter in my name, for the Management Consultant.

However, after researching on the Internet, a question cropped up:
(1.a) Is it okay to sign the contract with the US organization directly in my name?
(1.b) Is it okay that the support letter be written by this US organization?
Or, that:
(2.a) The contract with the US organization be signed in my incorporated company's name and not in my own name?
(2.b) And, that the support letter should be written by my incorporated company.
[ (2.c.) If answer to 2.b is 'Yes', then who signs the letter, me myself, or my spouse, who also is a director of this incorporated company]

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could directly answer my question; at this stage I can't afford to retain a lawyer.
