Hello,

I am currently working in the US on an H1-B visa. Like many, I am
driven to pursue my entrepreneurial spirit, but current laws do not
allow me to do so.

I have processed the information from previous related questions:
- http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=731971 
- http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=735309 

I am a software developer and the business I would like to start would
be built around software that I wrote as a hobby in my free time.
Hiring a US resident or citizen to do the real work in my company
would be neither cost-effective nor pragmatic... the skills I can
provide my business are very hard to find and would greatly increase
the costs of starting the business; so the commonly offered solution
of hiring somebody else is not an option for me.

My question is then... since I am not allowed to be creative and
contribute to the local economy by creating a business in the US, am I
allowed to create a business in my home country.

So, can I as an H1-B visa holder based in the US work in my free time
remotely for a company based in my home country? What would be the
immigration and fiscal implication of doing that?

Thank you in advance for your constructive input.
