Is there any way for a newly created startup to obtain H1Bs.
- Thread starter faczulin
- Start date
I'm planning to start a company together with a US citizen, and would like the company to sponsor my H1B within months of its creation. Is there any way at all the company could possibly sponsor my H1B?

• There are two theories for the cause of the H-1B cap number not being exhausted. One theory is the impact of economic down-turn, and the other theory is number of employer withdrawals of the petitions, denial or revocation of the petitions by the agency. Without doubt, both factors have been affecting the cap situation. However, report indicates that "a USCIS spokesman, in an e-mail, said the reason for the decline is that the number of denials, withdrawals of applications and revocations are "quite simply" exceeding the number of new filings." This phenoma is caused by the agency's massive RFEs demanding mountains of documents which are in a lot of cases unavailable for a number of reasons. The industry which has been most affected is IT consulting services, no matter how large or small they are. For these employers, nightmares are expanded to extension cases, not to mention new cases, producing RFEs and denials. The difficulty of these employers do not stop there. Their international travels are faced by the increased challenges at the consulates and at the port of reentry. As we reported yesterday, this is an extremely challenging time for foreign professional workers and the businesses that need services of these foreign workers. We do not know when this is going to stop and how the environment can change. It will be interesting to see what long term impact it will have on the future of this country, should this continue under the environment when there is no change in the country's education system that can meet the international competitive challenges.
-------------------Thanks, but I'm not sure how your response related to my question. I am not asking about the level of scrutiny applied to H1B applications,
but whether it is possible to convincingly argue that a newly created startup can hire an H1B.
------------------------You can try and see the results.
Let me rephrase the question:
a) What type of concerns would it raise if a newly created high-tech start-up company requested an H1B visa?
b) What type of argument would have to be used in order to address these concerns? I'm asking in general terms, of course I have to work the specifics.
c) Does anyone know any success or failure story that I could potentially learn from?
Thanks.
