How far a non-immigrant can get involoved running his US based businsess?
Hello,
As far as I know that any1 on non-immigration visa can establish a business,
but I am wondering how far I can be involved running my biz.? I am an iPhone
app developer and thinking to launch my next app under a new US based
incorporation, which will lead to making income and getting it through a US
bank. I will solely work on every aspect of this project.
Is that legal?
Thank you.

If you do not have a work visa to do this, you would be doing this without valid authorization and it can certainly jeopardize your future ability to immigrate to the US. I would not suggest doing this unless you have the appropriate visa.
