Own an Indian company, can I do biz on H1B?

[praveensg]

Hello folks,
First off, I really appreciate all of the information available on these forums, a sincere thank you for that. My situation right now is as follows- I own an Indian company which has been in business for almost 2 years now and has been doing reasonable business so far. Now, I have a few clients lined up here in the States who are willing to work with our company. However, I'm here on an H1B for a different employer. My question to you is whether by signing any paperwork on behalf of my Indian company, I'm violating my H1B status? I have a partner back in India who could take care of all the paperwork but I'm not quite sure how well it would go with the clients. Please do respond to my queries as this is a really important opportunity for our company to grow.

Thanks,
Praveen

As long as you work for # of hours mentioned in your LCA and get paid for all those hours, you shouldn't worry about it. Also, make sure that you have income in Indian currency and not in US$. In such a case, you may be in trouble as your W2 will be way too high and you don't want any questions from USCIS when you go for your GC.
