what is the best way(visa) to quit job and start a startup

[velminator]

I am currently working as a full time employee on h1b visa for a company. I would like to quit my job and pursue few ideas i have for 6 months to a year. If things go well , i might take my single person startup to next stage (incubator etc )[convince few friends to come join me! ;) ] or if it goes kaboom! i will go back to my previous company or worst case search for another job . 

Please kindly educate me on the possible visa options i have.

For example:

 

1.) Convert to visitor visa and work on my ideas for 6 months.

2.) Join a community college and register light weight courses and work as much as i can on my ideas

3.) Dunno if i can sponsor my own visa?

.......

 

 

Thanks

Why don't you pursue your ideas when you are working on H1??

 

Those 3 options( which are not options) doesn't help you out.

1. Absolutely illegal.

2. Absolutely illegal.

3. You can, if you qualify for GC based on being an investor by investing 1 million or half a million (in high unemployment or rural area). Look in USCIS website. Talk to a good attorney.

There is no visa that would allow this kind of stuff.

You can not work on your business on a visitor or student visa.

You would have to pursue this in your home country.

BTW you cannot work for any other employer on H1. Not even to yourself, so you cannot pursue your ideas on H1.
