    My husband is in H1B visa status and I am a H4 visa holder. Do any one of you know whether my husband can start a company here in the US?

    Or is it necessary to have Green Card or Citizenship status?

    The official party line...

    Akalya,

    The official party line is that your husband can start a company but he cannot do any work for the company. He cannot make sales calls or sign checks etc. As soon as he starts his company, he needs to hire a CEO, who should do all the work. This CEO should be a Green Card holder or a Citizen.

    Here is a link that provides some good details with an example.
