Regarding your first question, acceptance into YC definitely carries a lot of weight and can go a long way toward supporting an O-1 petition. Regarding your second question, as long as you are not receiving any value for your work (with value not being limited to cash compensation), then I see no issue with your release of a free app to help others.


Follow up question based on "value not being limited to cash compensation"

So it'll work well until getting accepted into a program like ycombinator, but I'll have to explore the O-1 visa options after getting accepted? Thanks.


It's a bit more nuanced than that, meaning that a work visa isn't necessarily required.


So on H1B one can create an android app and upload to play store? If it is just for learning purpose and not going to derive any value?
