Hi
I am a J-1 Visa Holder (PHD student). I was wondering if it is allowed for me to establish my own company (software company). Right now I am capable of developing software applications and a friend of mine told me that if I want to sell my software products I need to that via a company. Is it allowed for me to do that? taking into consideration that I will be the owner and the developer (I will start with myself as the only employee then I may hire some people depending on my business whether it grows or not).
Regards.
OT.
