🚨 BEWARE: USCIS Visa Startup Options (No Founder Visa?)- 2026 Strategy

Описание: USCIS does not offer a single 'founder visa' - startup immigration is about choosing the right visa path. If you are a startup founder planning to work in the U.S. (or already here), this affects your timeline, travel, and work authorization. In this video, you’ll learn: - What people mean by 'founder visa' (and the real categories founders use) - Who is affected vs not affected (outside the U.S., inside the U.S., students, employees) - Timeline watchpoints (processing, fundraising timing, travel and re-entry risk) - A practical checklist to pick a safe starting strategy and avoid common mistakes - Myth vs reality: whether you must own 50 percent of the company to qualify Quick reality check: Most founders have options, but the wrong order of steps can cause delays or denials. Watch till the end for a simple decision map you can use before you spend money on filing fees or legal work. This is general information, not legal advice; verify details with official sources (USCIS, DOS) or a qualified immigration attorney for your situation.
