What's the easiest way for an H1b holder to work on their own startup and control their company? I've heard of VC like Unshackled, but taking VC seed is already shackling myself. I'm looking more for a solution where I'd pay some fee to a lawyer and turnkey solution for a company structure setup.
- proberts 3y agoThere are visas where the foreign national can control/own/run the company he or she works for, such as the E-1/E-2, O-1, and L-1 visas. It's more complicated and tougher if you want to remain in H-1B status and work for your own company; in that situation, you have to give up some control to a cofounder or board. To be clear, it's possible to maintain your H-1B with your current employer and get a concurrent part-time H-1B through your own company (assuming the conditions above are met).
