I worked on a visit visa for 6 months with a US military contractor. After that I returned to the US and they were able to get me a proper work visa.
Is it illegal? Yes it seems so.
Do they do it anyway? Yes they certainly do, including US companies in Saudi.


*** Any news on Booz Allen *** They are advertising again.


Will they get to stay on for the remaining 2 years of their contract?

I have heard a lot of rumors...anyone on the inside have any information they can share?
