Open a business

Even if they can be convinced that there isn't substantial control, in a one or two person company they can easily claim that the job is not valid, which is also a question of fact.

TheRealCanadian brought up a good point. This is the kind of discussion I'd like to see here. In my case, this is more of a concern than the substantial control. My buddy's one/two person company would look suspicious to a CBP officer.

BTW does USCIS follow the same manual or do they have different guidlines?

I'd suggest that for a very small company, both are valid concerns.
