Ready to found a startup, but my co-founder is on a temporary visa

My co-founder and I have been bootstrapping our startup for a couple of months and things are starting to ramp up. However, we have an impending problem: he is here on a temporary work visa that expires in September.

What are the options for him to stay in the US to continue working on the startup? So far our main thought is for him to apply for a job that would offer a more permanent visa. Then he would continue working on the startup on nights and weekends while I work on it full time, but this is obviously not ideal.

Has anyone had to deal with a problem like this before?
