okappleon I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA

Can I be a startup advisor and accept advisory stocks from a startup while on H1B visa for other company?

okappleon Executive order expected to suspend H-1B, other visas until end of year

H1B Employee with 100k Salary contributes $12,400 to Social Security and $2,900 Medicare every year. (Total:$15,300 per year).

Majority H1B from India and China are stuck in green card backlog; with the current immigration system, they will never get the green card. Option for them is to stay in the USA on H1B in green card waiting queue or return home. (I do not think this is right or wrong people who are stuck in the queue, they chose to come to the USA and work here, it is up to that person to decide if they want to stay or go back or go to another country). After returning to home country from the USA, Social Security and Medicare deducted is a contribution to the USA (I am not saying this is right or wrong, just a fact).
