How can non-US residents be part of Y Combinator?

According to the FAQ, it says it also funds non-US residents. But isn't it illegal for a non-US resident to be working in America without a visa?

Technically you're not "working" as you are not employed. I'm not even sure theres a visa for it, maybe you just take a very long "vacation" and leave/return before your time is up.

Hmm...that's interesting. But that would also mean the start-up is not allowed to make money in the time of this "vacation".
