My answer to Can we apply to Y Combinator on a visitors visa? Or is a work visa an absolute must? on Quora

I understand it is quite common for out-of-country YC founders to do the initial three month period under a visitors visa, which is OK provided they do not pay themselves a salary while in the USA. You can get a long way on expenses though.
