    Thank you. I am under OPT STEM now and am working for a company, but I will quit the job soon to do my own business. This information helps me a lot. Thank you again :)

      Thank you for your comment bNext. Please note that the rules are a little different for STEM OPT, which requires a bona fide employer-employee relationship.

    Very glad I found your channel. You should do a video about students with businesses outside the US that they are owners of(and operating) and what to do if they have just received their F1 visa and started going to school.

    This is excellent content! Please keep posting! Quick question. Can I work full time for a company and run my personal business at the same time as long as I am actively working on it?

    Great video, helped a lot. I've formed a single-member LLC while on OPT (I also have a full-time, field-related job) and I'm planning to file taxes as a sole proprietorship. Do I still need an EIN in this case?

      Yes, you do need an EIN for your company. After all, its a LLC.

    I am on OPT and I want to sell e-commerce and my major is in Business Administrations. Would an e-commerce business be seen as related to my degree?
