βThis book compiles a lot of information about entrepreneur immigration options and itβs a great place to get started and reference if you feel lost. As an F-1 student, the most important topics for me where understanding what constitutes work, and knowing when various types of work / stay authorization such as CPT, OPT, STEM OPT, H1B and O-1 are appropriate.β
βThis book very comprehensively covers all you need to know as an international startup founder! Itβs often super challenging and confusing to know what to do and what not to do as an international founder, but this book answers all the questions!! Fiona is fantastic. Definitely work with her if you have a chance!!β
βThis book has so many key insights I wish I had known while I was on my OPT/STEM OPT extension. Highly recommend for international students who are keen to stay in the U.S. post-graduation and have even the slightest interest in entrepreneurship!β
