US VISA and Tax

Hi forum,
I have been offered a job opportunity in New York, USA. I currently work in London.
I was hoping someone could help me understand the tax implications of moving from the UK to US. I would be on a local contract and my employer would get me a VISA. I have an Irish (EU) passport.
I would plan to return to the UK in 2 years, so this is more a sabatical.
I have heard horror stories of the US Tax Man wanting to tax you the rest of your life even when you move away. Is this true?
All help and advice is much appreciated!
Many thanks,
pjbltd

Only if you become a citizen which won't happen in 2 years. They tax non resident citizens wherever they live.0
