Given the large number of people losing their jobs in the US right now, do you think the US should be importing foreign labor?
Somehow that's kind of a question where most people do not think. They believe (even when they believe they think). So I think this is an ill-posed question. And obviously it went against the common believe here.
Based on public statements by YC partners, appears possible the YC S20 batch will be 100% remote; as it relates to YC interaction with the batch. As it relates to US immigration matters — what, if any, impact might this have on the S20 batch that prior non-remote batches were not subject to?
Hi Peter, Thank you for doing this AMA. I am a student on F1 visa in STEM field, graduating in 2 months. I will be on OPT afterwards. What are some practical immigration paths for recent graduate founders?graduating? Please note that I don't qualify for EB.
I was a co-founder back in 2012 in India and we were running a e-commerce store. I am currently in h1-b working for big US company. Just wondering if I can use my past experience to move to eb1 instead of eb2 which I am currently petitioned in.
Does founding a startup (in Delaware with Stripe Atlas for example) make the immigration process any easier?
What would be the appropriate immigration path for a founder of a US company living outside the US (and not a US citizen)?
e.g. when you overstay less than 6 months, you get "blacklisted" - it becomes hard(er) for you to get a new travel visa, but more importantly, even if you do get it, every time you try to go to the US you get taken to the backroom
Hi Peter, Really appreciate you doing this! For a non-American who gets a bachelors degree in the U.S., what are the best paths for starting your own company in the U.S. if you don't want to raise venture capital?
Thanks

If an E-2 is available, then probably the E-2 or O-1 - after you have taken advantage of OPT to build up your company. If you have other founders/owners that diffuse the ownership and control, then there could be other options such as the H-1B or a country-specific visa.
