Seems they just moved here to do a startup, then applied too late for a H1B visa. They don't seem too bothered by it. They get to live in Hong Kong! Sounds awesome to me. http://leostartsup.com/2011/12/why-we-are-taking-our-startup...

I didn't think getting a H1B visa was that easy, though. You just move to the US and apply? It doesn't work that way, does it? Don't you need to have a job and somehow justify that you need a visa?
