I am intern in the US at the moment and have a J1 visa , which would expire soon. I have applied for university here and plan to come back as a student. As I understand with J1/F1 (student) I can work here only for the university, where I'm studying...
...but can I work for my own (Estonian)company that is not US based and get salary from an other country (Estonia)? It would be a software development work for Estonian company, which has customers in Austalia, US and Europe. Would this be a problem that I have customers also in the US and time to time I'm going to visit them, while I'm here as a student?

Is there any kind of combined visas as student + business?
 
You can't be employed in the U.S, but if you are not getting a U.S. "based" paycheck, but working as a "virtual" person for a foreign company in a foreign country, I don't see a problem, just don't talk too much about it.

There is no such visa as "student+business".
