The curse of the green card: entrepreneurship for immigrants? 
run4yourlives: I know nothing regarding US immigration law, but what do they define as "working"? In other words, could you contribute for "free" and just pay yourself via dividends?Otherwise, why don't you just incorporate in India, or wherever else is applicable? If you're going to sell via web payments, nobody really cares where you are. There may be a few issues with corporate clients, but for 95% of people it would be seamless.
