Can I create single person LLC while on H1B?

Hello, I have written a couple of Children's books and want to publish through my publishing company. I was thinking of creating a single person LLC. This is for passive income. Can I do this while on H1B visa? Let me know if you have done this and this is legal. 270K

No. You cant have income while on h1b other than from your employer. Maybe you can ask amazon to publish your book and compensate you

No

You need a different visa. If your spouse is on H4, he/she can publish the book. If you're single, you can try getting an O1A visa, but it's not easy to get.

If OP's spouse is on HR, they can't do it either.

Welcome to the US with immigration restrictions just like every other country. If you don't like the rules, don't come.

How easy it's to form an LLC? I mostly make around $500 per month from side hustle. Wondering if it's better to make an LLC?

It's easy but you won't get much of a benefit if your side hustle only gives you an extra $6000 a year.
