I am a grad student in my final year of grad school who will be graduating in May 2011. I am working on my startup idea part-time balancing time along with school work. Since, I am on a F1 visa, I need to get a job as soon as I graduate or I have to leave the US 3 months after I graduate when the OPT period ends.This being the case, what would be the right course of action that I should be taking? I am highly motivated and am thinking about applying for YC Winter funding cycle. But, I am not sure how I can maintain legal status in the US if I work on my startup.I have heard of the startup visa, but to my knowledge it has still not been approved. Has YC funded startups with co-founders matching my profile in the past?
