Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Hi,

Hope you are doing well and good!

Myself is Shravan,i am on F1 visa and lives in NJ,i will start with a simple question first that will give a clarification to all my questions.

1)As i am on f1 visa i got an on-campus job and i also got a SSN through this oncampus job,can i register a LLC using this SSN or do i need to wait until my visa f1 status changes to CPT or OPT?

While you are free to set up the LLC, actually with or without the SS#, you cannot actually work or operate the entity. The extent of your involvement can only be passive investment, like a stock owner. it is possible that this entity could sponsor your next visa or be used for your OPT, but this exceeds my level of immigration know how as I am a business and IP lawyer and you posted in business, so I would post again in immigration to get more detailed responses.

If you have business or IP related questions, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
