Working from the USA

Was wondering about your thoughts on this, I have a business and a few more things I do (writing (US company), SEO and selling websites)

I'm going to the USA for a week next month from the UK, if I get a visa waiver program I'm not allowed to work in the USA...does what I do count as working in the USA, I assume yes? In which case will I need a word visa to handle my business from America?

    That's a great question!

    I'm afraid my answer would be to ask a lawyer. I really don't know who else you could ask that could give you a concrete answer.

    With that said, your company is a US company and you work from the UK?

    Just clarifying.

      IANAL, but this is surely no different from going on a holiday to France or Spain and taking your laptop along to keep on top of your business.

      Working in the U.S. means being employed or starting a business, with all the bureaucracy that goes with it. It doesn't mean you can't work on your own business while you're on vacation.

    I agree with the above poster. "Working" in the USA does not mean using american internet
