Hi
I want to start an online business on Ebay as a Sole proprietor in Las Vegas Nevada. I have talked to a distributor in Las Vegas and they say I just need to give my SSN for working with them as a sole proprietor. I searched on internet and found that I will need a business license in las vegas to work as a sole proprietor.
Currently I am on OPT Extension (with F1-visa ) and working full time for a company in a Las Vegas US company as senior SQL database developer and administrator. As I completed MS in Computer Science so my job is directly related to my field and my company is E-verified too so I satisfy all OPT rules.
NOw I have following QUestions
Q-1:
Can students on OPT extension (with F1 visa) get a business license and start online business?
If I could get a business license and start online, will i somehow disobey any OPT rule?
Q-2:
There is a rule that I can work only for E-verified companies and my job must be directly related to my stream which is computer science. Will this online ebay business disobey this rule?
I think OPT students are allowed to be self employed . The only difference is that I already have a full time job which satisfies all OPT rules and I am trying to involve in self employment while I am already working for an e-verified company.
Q-3:
OPT students are allowed to work for multiple E-verified companies. So if I work in my current company and start my online business and register my business as an E-verified business, will it satisfy all OPT rules?
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks.
