Foreign Member in LLC
Hi,
I have started a LLC with one partner in Jan 2008 in US. Now my partner is leaving the company. Since i am on H1B visa i cannot be the only partner in the company.. Can I add my father as a member to the company even if he is in India. What form do I have to fill to add him as a member??
Thanks,

There is no reason that your father could not be added as a member of the limited liability company (except in the unlikely event that you have elected to have the LLC treated as a corporation and made an S election).
How you do that depends on whether the LLC is member-managed or manager-managed. In the latter case, there is no filing required with the state of Illinois; in the former case, file an amendment to the articles of organization.
