It's pretty straight forward for any european to go to the US with a turistic entry and you are allowed to look for jobs or anything else with that (you are not allowed to work, though).
- bambax 16y agoA tourist visa is limited to 3 months I think; and founding (and funding) a startup is certainly considered "work"?
- crocowhile 16y agoIt seems funding a startup in their case meant attending a conference and have a bunch of meetings with angel investors. You can certainly do that on turistic visa. After which, you can spend $2K on a lawyer and get around with a H visa I suppose.
- bjelkeman-again 16y agoYeah, more or less. The way we did it was we moved over on tourist visas and kept going back to Europe every three months, whilst we spent the money on lawyers on the EB5 visa (I think, it was 10 years ago). The investment we brought to the US was essentially the company assets as we transferred the company to the US from the EU. We moved seven people and their spouses over this way.
