Can international candidates apply? if the answer is yes (and if we are selected) will YCombinator help us with obtaining J1 (or any other applicable)? or at least provide a document as an employer? thanks

There's an answer to this question somewhere in YC's FAQ, and the answer is yes and no. They do accept international candidates, but you'll have to figure out all the visa issues by yourself. They are not employers and won't provide any documents. But since what they require is that you stay in SV for the 3 months cycle, this shouldn't be a problem with a regular tourist visa. (Things can get complicated afterwards, though, if you want to stay longer)

  This page from BackType (YC S08) guys pretty much cover visas: http://christophergolda.com/immigration-for-startups http://christophergolda.com/immigration-for-startups
