Hi,
I am currently on OPT till Dec 2012. I graduated in December 2011 with my MBA (management concentration). I work for Bank of America but my position does not qualify for the company to file for me for H1B. I could probably get the needed position or even find another job in a different company that could apply for me. But my friend invites me to do business with him. He is a disabled veteran. He started a roofing company in November 2011. As for now he is the only employee. He registered a sole proprietorship which we could change to LLC or Inc. if needed. Now he asks me to join him as a 50% shareholder. We would have subcontractors working with us. We may have several employees, like a secretary, etc.
The questions are:
1) How high is the risk of being rejected H1B in this case as the company is recently started and is a small company?
2) If H1B is denied can I find another company and have them file H1B for me for the same period for which it was denied Oct 2012-2013? So, can the application be filed for me for H1B second time if the first time it was denied?
3) If H1B is denied, then would I be able to continue my OPT?
4) Is there a difference for being approved H1B if sole proprietorship vs LLC or Inc files for me?
5) May I still continue to work for BAC while a different company filing for me for H1B?
Please suggest the best way for me to get my H1B. Thank you very much for your help!!!
