I am currently on an H-1B visa. I am planning to start a business with my brother who is a US citizen and needs some guidance.
1) Until the business is operational and generating revenue, can I just be a partner in the company without doing any work visa application with it?
2) Can I have more than a 50% share in that company? If so, would that impact anyhow my H-1B with the current company?
3) In the future, if I want to file for concurrent or full-time H-1b through the new company, is it difficult to get it approved if my brother and I are the partners of the company?
4) Once I am on an H-1B visa in this new company, can the company file for my green card in the EB-1 or EB-2 category?
5) Does the company need to meet any specific conditions before sponsoring for H-1B and Employee-Based Green Card such as being E-Verified or having at least few citizens before hiring non-citizens?
We would like to convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Khanna and his staffs for helping us to succeed in our immigration petition through EB-1 (OR) category. We were very thrilled to note that our petition was approved without RFE in a record pace (within 9 months of submission).
Without his kind support and dedicated staff, we think we could not have achieved this. We would like to convey our special thanks to Ms. Diane Lombardo who meticulously put all the evidences together and shaped the case as a strong one.
I highly recommend this team.
Good Luck for all you. Thanks.
Senthil.
