On: How did non US citizen founders funded by YC get allowed to work in the US?

Tourist visas are 3 months, and are for tourism, not for working for your company.

I do think that it's possible to register a company, but don't know how that works out for non-US people.

no b1/b2 is for 6 m and can be extended for another 6. visa waiver is for 3m (its EU can come without any visa)

[vladd → vgurgov]

this is incorrect information. There are lots of countries in EU that still require visa.

EU is trying to make US treat it as a single entity ( http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=114061 ) but for the last 4 years they've pretty much failed to do so.
