Hi Peter,
My co-founder and I are on an F-1 visa currently using OPT and about to request the OPT STEM extension. We've talked with a lawyer and she insists that we should add a US Citizen to the Board of Director to establish employer-employee relationships. She says that otherwise, this could get us in trouble if we ever get audited or petition another type visa.
Our questions are:
1. What are your thoughts on this? Is there an alternative?
2. What document would be necessary to add/revise (other than the agreement for the individual to join the board)?
- proberts 8y agoI would speak with your school - because the school is really the decision-maker on this - and ask your school what needs to be in place for you as cofounders to get a STEM extension.
