Hi Peter, Thank you for doing this. I am a student founder at a university in the US on J-1 visa (with 2 year requirement in place). I have got an interview with YC last summer and plan to apply again. If I got into YC and plan to continue working on the startup full-time, what would be my options in term of immigration and visa?

Neither the B-1 nor the O-1 are subject to the 2-year home residence requirement so one of these might work. You also might want to kick off the waiver process at some point.
