My company is still a private company that I do not expect it go public for a very long time. However, recognizing the potential of the company I want to exercise my options. My employer told me that I can not do so because I am neither a citizen nor a permenent resident. Here are my questions:
1. Is it true that people like I (H1Ber) can not exercise stock optioins of private companies ?
2. If yes, since I have four years to exercise stock options from now on, can I exercise stock options after I obtained my green card ?
Thanks
