YC will try to help on this as much as possible. We have a YC-International mailing list for international founders who have to deal with visa problem. In most cases, one or more founders who were from the previous batches will be able to help because they were in the same situation before.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for this. Once you are accepted, it helps to reach out to the mailing list(or other sources) to figure this out as soon as possible.

I was in the summer 09 batch, thing may have changed since then.
