Wait, are they saying I can create a company on my own, no holds attached and go work for it? (minimum investment etc.) A few questions - does it let me build apps and publish them to the Appstore to make money? (Since that doesn't count as working fulltime for the company I assume). How do they prevent Masters students who are on an OPT from creating their own companies and sponsoring a H1B for themselves? No regula…
So they're saying if you have a H1-B visa, you can work for your own company full-time.
But.. umm.. if you have a H1-B visa, that means you probably got it from your current employer whether it's Google or Goldman Sachs. That uh.. means you're already working for them full-time, and if you quit, then your visa is gone! And now the rule doesn't apply to you anymore.
Am I missing something here?
Wait a minute, I got a question I hope people can clear up for me... because I see a huge elephant in the room. So they're saying if you have a H1-B visa, you can work for your own company full-time.

EDIT - the "full time" sounds like a major hurdle for those who want to bootstrap. Am I correct?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was under the impression that the E3 had an attached dependent visa already: http://canberra.usembassy.gov/e3visa/dependents.html
Yes, they do. The point I was trying to make was that I imagine that the new directive on the H1B's allowing them to be used by startup-y people would probably apply to E3's too. ie, Go to the US to work for your business, and take your partner along who'd be able to work wherever they'd please.

Well the way I understand it. That's how it should work. You keep working on your existing H1b for Google or whatever, start your own company. Give yourself a job in your company, joining to which depends upon the new H1B that you will apply for. And once it is approved, you can quit your previous job and hence the previous H1B. Correct me, if am totally off on this.
This is exactly the kind of thing that could make investors very wary.
I hope this happens 10 years ago. But congratulation to all H-1B hacker news readers. You now can do something amazing without worrying about your visa.
Us H1B-ers are still tied down. I'd have to transfer my visa to my new, fledgling company. If it fails, I have to leave the country.
