Interesting; they have the clause 'as a matter of fact'.
What we're doing is we've actually founded a company (some americans are part of the company), but it's an actually entity, and the shares are split equally so nobody has a 'sole or primary' share of the stock or income.
Again, this seems to be legal, and we don't see anything wrong with what we're doing. But we do see that some things that would be quite dubious could slip by the laws as well, and that makes us wonder if our interpretation is correct.
A friend of mine did this to work as a waitress for four months in SC. http://www.swap.ca/out_eng/destinations/usa_internship.aspx Apparently she found work after she had received the visa and didn't have to report it. I don't want to do anything shady though. I guess you can't sponsor yourself (or your co-founder) for a J1 either?!
