Anyone on h1b doing business on side? Is it legal? I have heard USCIS doesn’t specifically say you can’t start a business (they say you can’t have a second job but nothing about business). Can you do something like Amazon or e-commerce business?

Check with a lawyer to avoid getting into trouble. I believe it’s not allowed.

From what I’ve understood, You can have LLC and any profits it generates can be used to pay its expenses, but you can’t personally withdraw the cash as salary

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
