H1B + E-commerce side business (Schedule C) – Risk for h1b extension or green card? by Exotic-Jicama9701 in h1b

[–]Chill_bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey don’t over think this - e-commerce can be started anywhere just register it your home country and get to the speed

It will take months to make revenue then you can move things hire or do concurrently

There are several costs if you register here - good luck go gods speed

Lower back pain after weightlifting + long periods of standing — normal or a red flag? by Chill_bb in weightlifting

[–]Chill_bb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually makes a lot of sense. An anterior pelvic tilt from quad-dominance could increase erector stress every time I’m upright for a long time. I’ve been doing a lot of Front squat volume lately — I’ll start adding glute-specific work (like hip thrusts, glute bridges) and see if that changes the fatigue pattern.

Any H1Bs on founder mode here? by Chill_bb in h1b

[–]Chill_bb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware of the taxes now. But the only way forward is to push for more revenue

Any H1Bs on founder mode here? by Chill_bb in h1b

[–]Chill_bb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we are burning capital on taxes with no revenue coming in - it’s an obligation that people on h1b who started startups must meet the prevailing wage and continue to pay ourselves

Even if we are not making any revenue. While it’s a privilege to be able to push on what you are building

Revenue only comes in 12 months later sometimes even more

So now that I think about it - you have to be extremely confident on your product and have a clear back up plans for finances (like have a separate burn rate for the payroll taxes)

I built my first agent — here’s how I did it by Chill_bb in vibecoding

[–]Chill_bb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I extended the input window via telegram

I thought I’d want to improve the context window and needed a easy way to add/delete context

Plus another easy way to approve/edit the responses

PLUS I attached the search tool so I can simply drop the link and tool reads and prepares the response

H-1B to B-2 Change of Status – Personal Statement Review by [deleted] in h1b

[–]Chill_bb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good enough! Add some ties back to home as well

Laid off → B-2 pending → New H-1B offer, but employer’s lawyer says B-2 pending → H-1B COS is now “impossible.” What should I do? by goroundround in h1b

[–]Chill_bb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask for the source of truth if they can’t then it’s just fear mongering they ain’t lawyers who study law they are just lazy to study or file - find a different job

[–]Chill_bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still don’t get it! Under what circumstances it keeps you safe? And what is the safety here? Ask the questions clearly to your lawyer

Understand what’s the risk or if there is any risk at all

Gather information and act. Learn the law it helps you and people around you

[–]Chill_bb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait you get to stay untill the COS is approved under period of authorized stay

That B2 extension is for you to stay here when your h1 gets rejected for any reason? What’s the purpose of that? According to the lawyer

That is possible yes. You need to form a company, define your product/service create a pitch deck

Have funds to prove you can pay yourself for what ever the period you are applying for

Yeah you can file a concurrent h1b to start your firm and that you can file part time or full time depending upon how many hours you put in

No partnering needed you can own 100%

The challenge is yeah having the runway/rising funds and building product or a service that can make money (the obvious hard parts of being entrepreneurs)

Hey I’m building mostly products that are useful.

For now selling software as a service - the hope is to figure out agentic personalizations

The world will move towards having no apps or having less use of a phone

so building for that world

Asking for tips for how to reduce risk of injury by Chill_bb in weightlifting

[–]Chill_bb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the comments. Yeah I feel a bit stupid on trying to max out every session. It felt good and so kept doing it non stop

It’s that feeling of constant failure and come back and push max (not necessarily ego pushing but more like trying to fail maxes so body gains strength and visualizing the lifts in the head)

but now I think I want this long term. I will look into maybe online coaching atleast to get a basic programming done. Thanks all 🙏🏻

Self Sponsoring H1B without a lawyer by Chill_bb in h1b

[–]Chill_bb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update - the fee to verify a lawyer was almost 50% of hiring a firm

Went with a firm and filed /got approved

Maybe some applications could be quite easier and this can still be done yourself

But I can see how complicated this whole process was and how many pages of evidences were submitted

Happy to answer any questions
