YC aspirants: if you're from outside USA then you may apply for J1 visa.
There is this news in an indian news-paper that students from other countries can come to USA in summer for work on J1 visa - dont know whether this could be applicable to all countries and for YC program as well - you may find it out by contacting USA consulate.

- wenbert 19y agowhat about for non-students? :/
- danw 19y agoIf I remmember correctly you can only get a J1 if you are a full time student and will be returning to university to complete your studies at the end of the summer
- fendale 19y agoYea, I had a J1 visa once and spent a summer working in a beach club on Cape Code - good times! They expect evidence that you have at least one more year of university left to get it (they don't want people not going back home and staying in the US illegally). I believe it only lets you work for 4 months however, with 30 days 'travel' allowed at the end, so it may be no good for a startup.
