Hi Peter, Immigration being one the most convoluted laws to declutter, really appreciate you taking out time to answer some of our questions.

What would be the best way for someone holding a H1B visa to startup in USA? what are the legal complications one must be aware of?

Does partnering with American citizen make it easier?

Also, being a software engineer does the current employer have claim on your idea even if it is out of domain of employers market?

Any resources would really be appreciated.

Thank you.

Best way would be to get a green card or change to another visa. H1B won't let you do this.
