Hello, I am European and planing a July vacation in California. I would like to extend my stay in August to do home office and work from our US branch.
I am guessing I would, need a working visa? If yes, which one? Also, should it cover July and August, or can I combine an ESTA and working visa?

Appreciate your help.

There’s really no good visa option available for you unfortunately. You cannot work on ESTA. If you do you likely won’t get caught but in the event you are your ESTA will be cancelled. Thanks!

Unless your current employer will sponsor you for an intermittent L-1 or you’re a Canadian/Mexican eligible for a TN, there’s no good visa option for the situation you specify. Unlike Canadian immigration laws and others, the US doesn’t have a short term visa that would meet your needs.
