No i am not going that route....did u talk to the legal councel they offered.. its free...call them....and ask abt changing to F1 or visitors visa. To me it seems like a better option than a consultancy because like u said there are not a lot of accounting consultacies out there. The reason i think being accounting jobs are not contract positions so a corp to corp arrangements are usually rare unlike IT.

Anyways for me i m thinking F1 or visitors options and then looking for another position.

How long had u been with them and what function? ERS? Audit? Consulting?
