International student founders – how did you solve the issue with visas?

1 points by mchakravarti7 8 years ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


Will need to incorporate soon, so I'm looking for advice on how to go on about eventual issues that will arise as an international student in the US. I'm currently on an F1 visa.

As far as I understand, there's two options I can use immediately (until I find enough resources to move off the F1 visa): 1) CPT, 2) pre-OPT.

Can I even use CPT to work on my startup? Would incorporating in my home country and then working on that company be any better?

I'm trying to speak to an immigration lawyer about this but I'd like to hear from people who have done it in the past themselves too
