The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables nationals of 36 participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business (visitor [B] visa purposes only) for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa.
A visa must be requested if the traveler:
Wants to work or study in the United States, travel as a working foreign media representative, come to the United States for other purposes not allowed on a visitor visa, or intends to immigrate to the United States;

In the mean-time; has anyone here applied for a visa to work/reside in the US for moderate periods and how much pain was it? I think you are supposed to visit your embassy and phoning them is a premium number (thanks Sam!)
The H2B Visa is most similar to our intentions:
The H2B visa is a great way for people who want to temporarily live in the USA, working in seasonal and fun jobs.
If you want to travel to America and work over the Summer in a hotel, theme park or on a cruise ship, or if you want to work in a restaurant or as a ski instructor over the Winter - this is the visa for you.

The employee must 1st have a job offer from a US employer to perform a temporary job
And then there are 2 of us... do we both need visas?
