Well the way I understand it. That's how it should work.
You keep working on your existing H1b for Google or whatever, start your own company.
Give yourself a job in your company, joining to which depends upon the new H1B that you will apply for. And once it is approved, you can quit your previous job and hence the previous H1B.
Correct me, if am totally off on this.
- untog 15y agoI think you're right, but it still complicates things. You'd basically have to set up a company, then not do anything with it for a number of months. This is exactly the kind of thing that could make investors very wary.
