[anu73_in]

Hello JoeF,

All the statements relate to C corporation:

1) H1b, H4 holder can be a passive shareholders
2) H1b, H4 cannot be a Director
3) H1b cannot be a officer like CEO, VP
3) Non-resident can be a passive shareholder
4) Non-resident cannot be a Director

Please correct me if I am wrong.....

Thanks

One question about being a Director?

Hello JoeF,

Can you pls let me know if a person can form a C corp and be a Director and have this company do his H1?

Can he himself authorise this company as a Director to do his own H1?

Or can you tell me what is the best way to do his H1 thru his own co.

I hope I am not posting this again..

JoeF or anu73_in, you help will be greatly appreciate.

I am on H1B, and my friend, a GC holder, who owns a company, wants me to join him as a CEO/Director. I am not sure whether it is a C corp.

I came across some postings on a reverse scenario, where H1B can start a company and appoint GC holders and US citizens as CEO and directors.

I am sorry, I am just getting to know this and need to respond soon.

Thanks.
