I have extensively searched the net for this but havnt been able to get a certain answer for my question. Here it is..
Can an international student on an F-1 Visa legally start a business?
I have heard of many students participating in these "work from home" schemes where they technically have their own business.. example.. quixtar.com. So i would like to know if i could register my own (lets say internet biz) and pay taxes as a business owner. I have been on F-1 status for the past year or so and have another 3 years to go in college. If it helps, i am in illinois.
Especially with the recent tightning of immigration rules i wouldnt want to do something that i am not supposed to. help!
