how expensive is it for startups to hire immigrants or sponsor an h1b? wouldn’t it be cheaper/easier to hire americans until the company is larger?
What's your take on the widespread abuse of H1B visas by large tech firms? How could the H1B program be adjusted to protect both the visa holder and the American worker?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
working with startups.
It would be wonderful if the Biden Administration revives the International Entrepreneur Rule because we really don't have an immigration option specific to startups and this would make it much easier for the founders of moderately funded startups to work in the US and build up their company.
How did you get into immigration law and then how did you become to work for a company like YC?
Hi Peter, I'm a Canadian student. I recently received a summer internship offer starting in May 2020, however I would like to enter the U.S. in January. (1) Could entering the U.S. while the J1 application is being processed (in January) cause issues (e.g. due to an updated I-94 for instance)? (2) Could I get the J1 visa to start in January so I don’t need to return to the border come May 2020? Thanks Edit: grammar &…
Can people working on H1B visa open a company to run a side business such as a mobile application that doesn’t need employees.
Second, is there anything in the whisper network about how forthcoming US embassies have been with National Interest Exceptions for the above. There is basically no information available online about what categories of people can get these exemptions and which foreign embassies are most forthcoming.
I'm a noncitizen living in the US, traveling to Europe in January and as of right now don't have a concrete way to re-enter the country, since no foreign embassy will discuss the NIE until I'm present in their respective country, but that means I need to fly with an open ticket and worst case scenario will have to return to Canada or Mexico for 14 days before re-entering the US.
Hi Peter, Thank you for doing this. Can someone who has unused H1-B from long time ago, use it if they have a job offer from a US tech company and is presently outside the US?
