The question
Hello,
I recently completed by studies from one of the
colleges of NY state.I'm on OPT rightnow.I'm currently
living in New Jersey state
One of my friend who is a US Citizen is forming a
company and he wants me to be a part of it as a co-
founding member.My questions are that can i use this to
demonstrate that im self-employed? If so what are the
restrictions? Can i get and 17 month extension(Im a
STEM major) if i stay self-employed? How can i get or
file H1B in this case? And how long will i have to wait
before i can file H1B?
If this doesnt work-out my friend is willing to hire me
as a manager so that its easy to demonstrate the
employee-employer relationship.In this case what will
be the restrictions on myself and on my friend and his
company? Can i get and 17 month extension(Im a STEM
major) if i stay self-employed? How can i get or file
H1B in this case? And how long will i have to wait
before i can file H1B?
Thank you for your time and answers in advance
