Creating a Business in the US on an H1-B Visa? 103
GnaGnaGna asks: "I've lived in the US for almost a year now and have a full time position with a major American company under an H1-B visa (work visa for foreigners). Besides this job, I also run an increasingly popular website generating AdSense revenues. I am not sure if I am allowed to create a US company (most likely an LLC), under my legal status, and transfer the Adsense profits to my personal bank account or a business bank account.
Have my fellow readers faced a similar legal situation or know anything about it?"

I'm not familiar with the H-1B, so it's also possible the terms restrict you from holding positions in your country while working here. I don't know and I'm not sure, but I thought I'd make the suggestion.

Technically you're subject to immediate deportation for breaking the law.
