15-year US resident here. Got my Green Card after 7 years. Was transferred to London and came back to US as Multi-National Manager. Got my GC within 6 months of application (i.e applied after 6.5 years) .
One thing I want to share is that, if you wanted to start a company on H1 / L1, it is fine and there are very few restrictions. You might have to do it part time and declare it to your employer and INS, and you cannot sponsor your own GC etc.
And how many H1 / L1 holders really want to start a company on their own? I doubt if the numbers are sizeable.
Even if you are raving to start a company tomorrow on a H1 / L1, what is the problem with tying up with a local GC or Citizen and register a company?
I am not being cheeky, just trying to understand where the pain points are.
