Work restrictions are on employers, not self-employed.

If you are self-employed, you do not need to complete a Form I-9 on yourself unless you are also an employee of a business entity, such as a corporation or partnership, in which case the business entity is required to complete a Form I-9 on you.

yes, you could...

the only thing is if you need a bank account for that, you will need to use your SO's one, and he will need to report any income on his/her 1040..

in other words it will be his/her business ;)

I know people who have done it with great success

AOS from B-2

08/05/08 I-485 filed

02/03/09 CGC received

12/09/10 I-751 filed

04/07/11 GC received

11/1/11 N-400 filed
