I have job offer to work in US, reliant on immigration.
I haven't completed my bachelor's degree, and my final exams are after the April 1st 2016 deadline. I do not have more than a year of professional experience. UK citizen.
Am I right that an H1B won't be applicable? Would any other visa types fit (Other than work abroad, then L1)?

In California, an employer specifically does not own your side work assuming you don't use any of their physical assets, protected know-how or paid-for time.

Of course, with the exception of explicitly-taken leave, its at least intuitively unclear how one defines any time as not "paid for time" of a salaried employee. (There may be case law that clarifies this, however.)

My cofounder has a BSc and has done some impressive things in her career, but the O-1 looks difficu…
Hi Peter, thanks for doing this. I've been applying to YC for the past 4 years and never gotten an interview, I'm starting to suspect it's because of my background (hence they never reply to you with the reason of rejection). I'm born in Canada, meaning I'm Canadian, but I never managed to finish my college CompSci Degree so I'm not eligible for a TN-1 visa. However I do have around 6 years of professional web dev ex…
The 17-month OPT extension has recently been terminated by a court. What are the chances that a new rule will be implemented regarding the OPT extension?

Without knowing more, it appears that the O-1 and the TN might be very good options.
