I would like to travel in the USA for a period of 3 - 6 months. But I want to spend some time working for my employer (remote work) and getting paid by the employer. Is this possible under a tourist visa (B1/B2)?

I hope this is OK since I will not be getting paid by a US employer. I am in the IT trade so all that I will be needing is my own laptop and a connection to the internet. The money I earn would actually help me pay for the expenses I get during the holiday.


Question: Intuition / Premonition / Precognition / Instinct / Gut feeling / Hunch
Answer: In order of 'magnitude'

Precognition - you really actually knew, for an absolute immutable fact, that this would happen.

Premonition - something came to you in a dream &amp; told you it would happen.

Both the above, of course, in the real world - absolute tosh… yet sometimes used for extreme emphasis (or by raving lunatics;-).

Instinct - Instinct is the thing that puts your hands out in front of your face if you fall. It requires no conscious thought whatsoever.

Intuition - you can intuit from relatively sparse evidence, if you have sufficient background in the subject being considered. You almost 'know it without thinking'.

Gut feeling - uses a hint of both the above &amp; a pinch of the last one..

Hunch - mainly guesswork, based on little actual evidence.

Unless you are exaggerating for effect - dramatic or comedic - you ought to choose based on how 'big a deal' it really is &amp; how much evidence &amp;/or conscious thought went into your conclusion.
