Thanks a lot!
As an H1B employee, you will have all kinds of restrictions on doing business in the US.
your best bet is http://www.cicdgo.com/ they will verify the company and be the official sponsor on your J-1 visa. The J-1 is issued to you in your country.
IIRC we paid 500-600$ for their services
It doesn't matter if you only cater to US customers, and it means that you won't be employed by any other US company whilst working in the US.
Consider starting a company in your home country, and launching under that. It doesn't matter if you only cater to US customers, and it means that you won't be employed by any other US company whilst working in the US.
Well, the cool thing about the internet is that you don't need to launch at a certain location. If you've launched in location X, you've launched it in the US.
you are in for a world of hurt with USCIS, startup can't be your sponsor (too small). your best bet is http://www.cicdgo.com/ they will verify the company and be the official sponsor on your J-1 visa. The J-1 is issued to you in your country. IIRC we paid 500-600$ for their services
Might be worth it for someone hoping to get funded or bust in under a year, but otherwise that seems problematic. Also, correct me if I'm wrong here, but once it's over, you can't turn around and get another J-1; you invariably have to spend some time out of country?
Launching is not a problem. Getting paid is. As an H1B employee, you will have all kinds of restrictions on doing business in the US.
