Immigration will get very suspicious of you if you're spending almost all of your time in the States. The business visitor visas are supposed to be for you to conduct meetings and sales pitches, etc - not for you to actually do your day-to-day work.
Ultimately they'll just refuse entry to you.
I used to have a valid US work visa, and then I moved to Canada and let the US visa expire. Few weeks ago when I was transiting through the US I was sent to secondary screening because they assumed I was going to just stay in the States when I landed there.
US immigration has a really really hard time believing that you _wouldn't_ want to live the US, and assume that you'll do anything to stay there.
- axod 17y agoI flew back and forth from UK->US between 2004 and 2008. Probably 40 or so times. Never had an issue with immigration :/ I think they're fairly fine with it as long as you look confident and know what they want to hear.
