How can I start my own business?

How can a F1 Visa OPT Student Start his own business without breaking any OPT rules?

  • Hi I am currently on OPT (in USA) and working full-time in a US company as senior SQL database developer and administrator. As I completed MS in Computer Science so my job is directly related to my field and my company is E-verified too. Can I start an online business and get a business license in Nevada,USA when I am on OPT? I think OPT students are allowed to be self employed . The only difference is that I already have a full time job which satisfies all OPT rules and I am trying to involve in self employment while I am already working for an e-verified company. But OPT students are allowed to work for multiple E-verified companies. So if I work in my current company and start my online business and register my business as an E-verified business, will it satisfy all OPT rules? If Not, How can I start my online business? There should be at least a way to do it. Please reply as soon as possible. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    It shouldn't be a problem as long as you're work authorized.Your issue however is that OPT is only valid for so long.
