Your business is not necessarily where you are. A business is a legal separate entity. You can have a business in, say, india that makes iPhone apps and is registered in India and banks in India and as far as apple or anyone is concerned it is an indian company. I would recommend focusing on the business idea, refining it and getting it going rather than looking for investment or finding an incubator, etc. Being on an H1 visa with a day job is similar to any American with a day job. You have to be careful to balance your time. There lots of advice about how you should do a startup, and a lot of it is valid. But every startup is different and none of that advice is as important as the simple act of starting up. Worry about what you can do and don't worry about the things that are beyond your control. Where you were born is beyond your control and beyond your ability to change.
