H1B visa holders are not eligible to start their own company and it's a violation of USA immigration law.Only Green card holders have the permission to do that.

Not true. Anyone can start a company in the US. H1B visa holders are not eligible to work in their own company. There's no law saying they cannot own one.

Re the GC - it is possible if the company employs significant amount of US citizens (~10, at least) for a significant amount of time, and is a viable business for several years. Just opening a company with a 7-years old as a partner doesn't make you eligible for a GC.
