I'm a UK citizen currently living in the UK and employed by a
multinational company. An opportunity has arisen for me to have my role
transferred to the US. My employer will make the necessary visa
arrangements. I have a partner who could potentially also request a
transfer to the U.S. via her employer. Neither of us understand very
much about U.S. visas and what rights we may have under them.
There are different options which may be open to me.
1) My employer transfers me onto the payroll of their U.S. subsidiary.
2) I stay on the U.K. payroll and simply get based in the U.S.
Do either of these options provide the start of some sort of route to
ultimate permanant residency and right to apply for other jobs in the
U.S. if I ever left my current employer?
Do any of these arrangements have a certain time limit before I am
forced to leave again?
If my partner and I marry does this make a difference under any
circumstances?
I appreciate that I may have unwittingly ommitted certain information
that may be required to answer my questions. If so, please let me know.
I am grateful for any help anyone can provide.
