Ask HN: Build a startup in the US while on H-1B Visa?

Hello Hacker News community,

I have been working on a couple of personal side projects for the last year, and I believe they have reached a stage where they can be useful to their target market and generate revenue. (I could be wrong, of course.) However, I am currently on an H-1B visa in the US, and I am unsure if it is possible to build a startup while on this visa.

I understand that it's not a straightforward process, so I am looking for advice on whether it's possible to register a company anywhere else in the world and run it. The company would be a one-person company with minimal time investment (less than a couple of hours a week) and is designed to be a self-service application.

I would greatly appreciate any insight or experiences shared by the community on this matter. Thank you in advance for your time and help.
