Can I be a freelance contractor in
the US?
Being a professional freelance contractor, in the way that IT
professionals have been able to in Australia, the UK (pre IR35), and (albeit
only recently) in much of Continental Europe, is not an option in the US.
This restriction is not linked to visa requirements. Indeed,
agencies are able to sponsor visas, and in 1998/9 Computer People was the 2nd
largest user of H-1B visas. However, in the US people do not normally act
through personal service companies, because laws force them to be the direct
employees of the agency.
