Is it legal to do business in home country while working in USA on a visa?
I am a Canadian citizen currently working in the U.S. with a TN visa.
I am planning to start a Canadian business part time with a partner in Canada (also a Canadian citizen).
I've read that starting a U.S. business is not allowed while I'm working in the States with a TN visa, but I cannot find sufficient information online about whether I can operate a Canadian business part time while I am in the states as a Canadian citizen.

I'm getting an offer to join different company end client(currently I'm with the consulting company) designation not decided yet. In my current employer, I am manager and wondering if I get a different position in other company like Director or solution architect or Sr Manager...and if I join that company what effect that will make on my current approved I 140 or GC process.
