Hello,

I currently employer and hold a E2 visa.

Can I start a LLC on the side?
Can I be a unique share holder?
Can I be actively involved in that LLC on a daily basis?

Thanks a lot for your help.
 
I'd go for it.

You probably can do all of the above.
I was here for the past 5 years on an E-2 visa, and have opened a second business on the side where I was active on a daily basis, taking salary etc...
You might issue most of the shares to your E-2 company e.g. 70% of the shares belongs to your E-2 company and 30% to you, I did it this way.
When time to renew came, I renewed it under the second business which was doing much better than the first which I initially applied for.
But I would ask a lawyer just to double check.
Good luck.:D
