ORIGINAL POSTER

Los Angeles Consulate - I've been a freelancer/remote worker for 3 years but I now only have one main long-term client I've been with since February 2023 (almost 2 years, we renew our contract every year as I usually increase my retainer rates). Has anyone had similar experience and/or will this timeframe impact my application in anyway?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring whether having a long-term client as a freelancer for almost two years will affect their visa application at the Los Angeles Consulate. A comment indicates that this timeframe should not be an issue as long as there is an existing contract for remote work.

Your timeframe should not be an issue. You have a contract of remote work, so you are eligible to apply.

that’s what I figured too but wasn’t sure if length of contract was something they took into consideration. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Anonymous participant The length of contract not a major factor as you can be approved with just a portfolio. Yearly renewable contracts are the norm You could note the contract is due to be renewed 2025.
