I'll be here for the few hours and then again at around 1 pm PST for another few hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll try to do the same in my answers. Thanks!

This can't be done while still in school but once you graduate, you can found a company while in F-1 OPT and then while in F-1 OPT status, look to change your status to O-1 (assuming that you also don't qualify for STEM OPT or another country-specific visa).
