What nonspecific advice do you have for immigrants who want to (co)found companies but are on h1b’s or student visas?

The issues oftentimes are what can the founder do before he or she moves to the startup and what company-related items need to be in place before the founder can be sponsored by the startup. This requires a conversation unfortunately since the advice is case-specific. My advice then is to find a good corporate attorney and to speak with an immigration attorney who works with founders and startups before setting up the company.
