I wanted to say thanks to you three for the helpful advice!

To say I know little of US work visa is probably an overstatement, so I'm helpful for beginner's pointers. I'm a German currently living in China (Skype-calling the US embassy for Visa info didn't work for me for now).

Background: I'm looking to move into the US with my wife (Chinese) and my son (German); myself I'm an independent games/ apps & web site developer/ designer and also wrote a book. My income is actually from the US due to things like eBay commissions, AdSense revenue, Apple Inc app payments and so on. My wife wants to work as an architect. I've been programming for 16 years, and want to continue to work independently on apps and such. Where would I get started for a work visa, or what type of visa it is that I/ we need?

Thanks so much for any help!
