My co-founder and I are working on a cloud startup (we have a registered LLP in India), and after launch, we want to register in the US through Stripe Atlas/Clerky. It seems easy enough (as non-residents) to open a company bank account in the US too.
In the future, we plan to apply for the EB-1 (based on your suggestions in previous threads to others) to live in the US.
Is it okay to register and operate a US company from India for now, when we plan to apply for an EB-1 in the future? Or could it be detrimental for future visa applications or any other reasons?
From a an immigration standpoint, it's allowed and there's really no downside to it and if it helps to grow the business, then it will help support your EB1A or EB1C applications later.
The US law is very expensive to comply with. Probably the most expensive in the world. Incorporate a subsidiary only and only if there’s a check in your hand. Then too, consider an LLC.
