My question is typical in the SF Bay Area, H1B founder:
I am an American Citizen. Opened up a startup C-corp. Company does not have a lot of press coverage yet. I have a friend who would like to join my startup as founder, but have doubts about immigration issues:
- H1B
- EB2
- originally from India
- graduated masters from a U.S. College
- currently software engineer for another big company. Has been for several years
- just starting the green card process
As a startup we don't have much revenue yet. He is willing to give up his salary (just as I did) to become a founder. I am worried about H1B's salary requirement preventing him from doing this.
What options do I have for bringing him on board to my startup as a founder? What would be the best way to do this?
