How about starting a company, and than have that company sponsors your H1B? There would be some grey -ish part during the transition from the old H1B (of the old company) to the new one, and I think you would need a co-founder/ investor such that you can't have control of the company (ie. less than 50%). Would it be feasible to do it that way?

- enraged_camel 13y agoThis is very, very difficult to pull off. You not only need to prove that your company has the financial standing to reliably and consistently pay you a full-time salary (which, for most startups, isn't always possible), but you also cannot have any controlling interest in the company. This means two things: either own less than 50% of it, or have a board of directors that has the power to fire you. In other words, a total pain in the ass.
