Quick question,
Can an individual on an O1A work under contract for an LLC that he or she has shares in? As far as i can see, a person cannot legally be employed by an LLC that they have a share holding in.
Thanks

I'd have imagined that it all came down to % of ownership. There could be situations where the employer grants shares to employees as a reward. It happened to me, and it did not affect either my I-129 or I-140.

So you were given shares in the LLC that you work for under contract but you're not directly employed by?
