That depends on the terms of your contract. If the contract is silent then the courts will look at what is reasonable. If the contractor has been standing by
ready, willing and able to do the job. But, has been prohibited from doing so because of matters beyond the contractor's control (such as mold not caused by
the contractor) then it is likely that the contractor can still enforce the contract, even a year later.

The contractor may file a lien for any portion of the work which was completed and not paid for. This is not to say that you cannot defend or countersue the
contractor if he/she files a lawsuit to foreclose the lien by claiming a breach of contract and possibly force the defaulting contractor to pay for the costs of
having someone else finish the job.

Yes, there are no restrictions that I am aware of that would prohibit a non-citizen from becoming a licensed contractor. Besides, if you form an Arizona
corporation and obtain the license in that entity, then that Arizona corporation is a citizen and would be no different in obtaining a contractor's license than
any other corporation. However, I cannot speak to the tax consequences of funds being distributed to non-citizen owners of the corporation.

If you proceed to file a mechanic's lien then you need to expect that the owner will defend by saying that they knew nothing of your involvement and may
refuse to pay. However the courts in Nevada try to bend over backward to give validity to a mechanic's lien even if somewhat deficient. Additionally, you can
also sue the contractor for breach of contract and non-payment with or without a mechanic's lien.
