No, you cannot circumvent the U.S. immigration laws by having your own LLC treat you as a foreign consultant. If you leave the U.S. and work from your home country (such as software developers often do, for example), you can work for whomever. But while you are in the U.S., you have no legal right to work for anyone in any capacity. Forming your own LLC does not help you. You need a different visa in order to be able to work or run your own business here.
