Yes that is the work around. But to OPs question- u can’t start a project as non- citizen alone, right?

I guess u can’t even start a project as a non-citizen as Kickstarter requires employer id which u can get only if u r a citizen

@SC1 - wrong ... you can register your own company... you can’t work for that firm.. you can have other partner (with GC or citizen) .... he can create a position for you in that company and get your h1 sponsored... if you invest more than $500k and create 10 full time jobs you get your EAD in 1.5 years...

like

@SC1 - you can register a company in one day here... also if OP is married and spouse can work on H4 then she or he can start a company on her/his name and register on kickstarter...
@OP - if you have enrolled in the legal plan at Deloitte (if offered ad benefit) you can consult a immigration lawyer and your CPA can help you to set up LLP...

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
