coming to work on b1/b2 visas on yachts based in us.

hello.

i have a ten year b1/b2 visa issued last year in london. i am a uk citizen.

ive been working for the past year on a yacht based in florida,(a yacht registered in the caymans), coming in and out the country many times with her no problem. last year i met a wonderful woman and are engaged to be married next year.

i have since left that yacht, and am doing contract work for other yachts around the world, intending to return to the us to the house i now share with my fiancee.

my concern now is, that when i finish a contract with a yacht, am i going to be let back in the us without a letter of employment, or no definite job to come back to?.would it be best for me to simply come in on a visitor basis, and always have a return ticket to the uk available should they ask?

many thanks

Gareth

Your visa allow you to visit the US, but it doesn't allow you to stay indefinitely.

If you intend to live here, your US Citizen girlfriend can file for a finance visa on your behalf, or you can get married and she files for a spousal visa. Either way, you should plan on spending approximately a year at home in the UK.
