Couldn't one just ask them to incorporate a company? I know this is generally better done later rather than sooner, but it is enough of a hassle that I think it would be a reasonable indicator of commitment.
- sinzone 16y agoNo, otherwise everyone in the world can come in US with just a $800 in commitment (the price to open a company in US via web)
- GFischer 16y agoAnd you absolutely don't want that.. imagine a free market that was free. Ok, I get it that the US incurs some liabilities when it accepts inmigrants, etc... that's why the startup visa makes some kind of sense... I'd love to go to the US (heck, even visit!) but I've been deterred several time (I've been 2 inches from the US border during my stay in Canada, but I didn't want the visa hassle and expense just for a short visit - not that the Canada visa experience was much better but I have relatives there)..
- anamax 16y agoIncorporation can be done on-line for under $200. (I suspect that it can be done for under $50.) That's not much of a committment.
- sinzone 16y agoActually an LLC is cheaper. But if you want an Inc. and apostille and setup an EIN, etc it could cost $800
