Default Create a company

Hi,

I am planning to create a company with a relative who has the U.S. citizenship. I am
currently working under H1. I am wondering what the best formula is as far as legal,
taxes and my transition to this new company are concerned. Has someone been faced
with the same issue ?

Thanks.

If your relative is close (have the same last name), you have better be careful.
Also the new company will be H1-B dependent which makes INS have a close look at
your documents. But I think it is possible if you can prove the new company is able
to pay you.

What you are planning is feasible with no problems. You have to do it correct so that
there won't be immigration and tax issues in the future.

You always have to consider if you will be working for the company or if the company
will be sponsoring your Green Card.

With *no* problems ???? Where do you get some of your info Paul@helpdesk?

The INS look very closely at these situations because a) the management of the
company may not be consistent with the duties of the other duties of the status, and
b) partnerships are often considered means of self-employment in the US which is not
permissible in most statuses.

Bottom line is that there can be some major problems.
