More details to this question:
I came from China, and I am a freshmen of university in NJ. My parents want to form a company( focus on pre school education, and consider China ,our country, the main marketing for the company)in order to get green cards to stay here.We now consider LLC, but not sure what we are doing. What do you suggest to do,like planning, lawyer,company or procedures ? And how much it would cost to go through the process including lawyer and other agent? Can I, a college student who holds F1 visa be the legal representative of the company? Thank you!

There are several options available to your family. What option would be best would depend upon more specific information about each family members' education, experience, and skills; investment involved; and specific plans for the company. As an F-1 status holder, you may be able to represent the company so long as you engage in no work on behalf of the company. Working without authorization would violate your status. Given what is at stake this is a situation where you should consult an attorney directly. You can find more information on options at http://myattorneyusa.com/investment-immigration.
