Thank you for your clarification.

"The founder or the LLC or Corp have to stay in US using the same process they used when they entered US"

If the founder of the LLC / Corp enters the US using an F1 visa, how can they stay in the US? F1 visa will expire no matter what, Bachelor usually have about 6 years, Master have bout 3 years, basically F1 holder can not stay in university forever.

H1b visa can expire too (up to 6 years), but with H1b, the employer can sponsor the H1b holder to greencard.

What would happen if the startup got acquired and the founder are F1 or tourist visa holder? Can they get paid if their LLC is a US based company?
