n_sai18 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi I am a student on opt-ead extension doing a fulltime job. My friends (U.S citizens) has a startup related to Apps and during their initial days I have invested some money for their U.S based startup. Now they wanted me to be their partner owning a quarter shares of the company. So can anyone suggest whether I can hold shares in U.S based company while doing my fulltime job? Thank you.

Passive investment is always allowed. So, having shares of some company is not an issue. Working for the company may be an issue. It is not clear if you are planning that. Quote Link to comment
