Re: Can a H1 holder own and work for his LLC
You should provide in your question more information about your business.
If you have just formed a shell LLC without an actual ongoing business interest then you can forget about getting an H-1B from your own company. However, it is possible in some situations where the company is at least a small company with a strong financial track record, an employer of several employees and it is compatible with the business's nature to require hiring a specialty occupation worker with the H-1B worker's background.

If your position with your LLC requires a bachelor's degree in a specialty area, and you have the corresponding degree or experience, then your LLC can sponsor your H1B. Your LLC also can sponsor other people in similar situation.
For small business, it's important that your LLC have enough work so that it makes sense to hire employees.
