Hello, Peter.
Thank you for answering so many questions. It's been helpful and I think I know the answer to my question, but thought I should ask explicitly anyways.
I am on H-1B with mid-2017 priority date. I am of Indian nationality, approved for GC and have got H4 EAD for my wife.
There are things I want to work on that could be monetized over the long term (websites and online services). My family members have similar interests.
Is it OK for me to be able to contribute to the set up and growth of the business(es) without being a stakeholder? For example, the ownership can be with my brother (based in India) and my wife (based here in US) with the parent company based in India. I would personally get no stake in the business or any part of the profits.
I like my job and will stay full-time with my employer. Does this situation violate my H-1B status requirement in any way?
