A:
You have options to explore for staying in the U.S. after your L1B visa, but it depends on your situation and what makes sense for you. One possibility is an H1B visa, which could allow you to work for a different employer. Since your role is in business development, your new employer would need to sponsor you and demonstrate that your skills are necessary for the job.
Another path might be the O-1 visa, which is for individuals with extraordinary abilities in your field. If you can show significant achievements, awards, or recognition, this could be worth exploring.
For your spouse, some visas provide work authorization, so it's essential to choose one that offers this benefit. Consider speaking with an immigration attorney to explore the best options tailored to your needs and qualifications.
