Living in the USA but not working there?

Hi,

As stated before I am 23 and work as an Account Manager here in the UK. I have no degree and no family in the USA.

Is it possible to rent or buy a property in the US of A and effectively live there.

Simply flying back to the UK every 3 or 6 months then flying directly back to US?

I ask this because I know you can only visit the states for 3 months at a time.

Can this be extended at all if you can support yourself?

For example I run an online business – which hopefully soon will support me fully. I could simply rent a place there – live of the earnings of my UK business – and fly back home every time my visa runs out.

How feasible is this?

Any help is very welcome.

You are not allowed to work while visiting the US as a tourist - that includes online work. The visa waiver program lets you in for 90 days each time.

I am working outside the US on a 4 week on/off schedule. We would like to live in the US when I'm off. But how about my wife and children. (my wife has a B1 visa). Could the children go to school etc.?

You should open your own separate thread rather than post your question in somebody else's.
