H1-Bs and Startups??
how do you do it? I mean, large enterprise companies are more or less stable, guaranteed jobs. and immigration is more or less very well taken care of. What prompted you to take the leap of faith that small companies, total number of employees >
Job growth, interesting role, market rate compensation (at least as a new grad).
Also any startup that is venture backed usually has access to pretty reasonable immigration resources.
so big title and shit load of rsus > h1 inconsistencies like rfe, 221g, employer visitations, i797 misplaced etc etc?
can you do startup while on H1B from another employer? isn't that a restriction of H1B
yes. you can start a company, operate it, recruit, build business, do whatever you want. you cannot be on the h1-b of that company you own, therefore you cannot take a salary, or use a company corporate credit card for expenses etc. that is outright illegal, otherwise everybody would be sponsoring themselves.
if you are the co-founder you can probably operate it but for FREE. the safest is be an advisor role or investor to get equity. i suggest you consult an immigration lawyer and read the following https://cofounderslab.com/discuss/founding-a-startup-while-on-h1b-visa-of-another-company-good-or-bad https://www.quora.com/Can-I-open-a-startup-if-I-am-working-under-H1B-visa#targetText=Being%20a%20H1b%20visa%20holder,which%20is%20regarded%20as%20employment.
