Hi HNers, sadly this third world country is going,
I was wondering if this is feasible,<p><i>I need your input, ideas, tips, connections:</i><p>Here are the steps I have thought so far:<p>1.- Incorporate: Create a LLC in some state in the USA (Delaware, Nevada, etc)<p>2.- Give myself EIN, SSN, USA Bank Account, etc<p>3.- Hire myself<p>4.- Move to USA<p>5.- Work in the USA<p>Thanks
It's potentially feasible under an E-2 Visa. Your case may be fact dependent. Here's some info> <a href="http://www.visapro.com/Immigration-Articles/?a=361&z=48" rel="nofollow">http://www.visapro.com/Immigration-Articles/?a=361&z=48</a>
1. You can incorporate an LLC or Inc. from any part of the world. This won't be an issue.<p>2. The LLC or Inc. can get EIN and open USA Bank Account. You'll not have an SSN unless you have a valid work visa, students visa or your green card. Not a log of banks will help you open these kind of accounts unless you have someone with SSN to help you there. Most startup-friendly bank is SV Bank.<p>3. You won't be able to hire yourself unless the company is one year old and has certain revenue. Even when the company is eligible for everything else, it'll still have to file an H1-B which is more like lottery these days. 2014 quotas are already full and 2015 quotas will only open in April 2015.<p>4. and 5. Unless you have an H1-B or L1, you won't be able to move to the States for work.<p>There's something called EB-5 but that has substantial investment.
Form an LLC with your friends in the US (who are legal residents). Make sure that you form a board which has the authority to fire you (this is needed for the h1b employee employer requirement). Make the company profitable, apply for h1, move.
Step #3 is the hardest. You're not going to be able to hire yourself and get a visa for yourself as an employee for your own company, except under very specific circumstances which probably don't apply here.
Which "third-world" country are you in?<p>If it is that bad, like civil-war-bad, then you could possibly try applying for refugee status (although that may restrict you as well).
Not likely... The process of sponsoring a visa applicant can be costly and must be completed by a us citizen. There are significant cost to this as well. If they find out, you will be blacklisted and never gain citizenship
