You get a grace period if you leave your job right? I just don't see this as a showstopper...you could've applied and dealt with problems as they came up.

- ashu 19y agoActually, no. You don't get a single grace day as somebody else has pointed out below. Plus, even if these guys applied and incorporated immediately, they can't (i.e., the INS will not approve it w.h.p.) sponsor H-1s from their own company (even an H-1 transfer) unless the company receives significant investment. All-in-all, it's certainly a big show-stopper.
- gms 19y agoSo how did you guys do it?
- ashu 19y agoWe were students on F-1 which turned out to be just the right thing to have. We went on an OPT immediately and by the time we needed H-1Bs for ourselves, we had raised enough money to be able to justify the INS that we are a totally legit company capable of paying H-1B level salaries.
