C-Corporations and LLCs can be owned by non-citizens. S-Corporations however
must be owned by a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident of the United States.
I suggest calling a document filing service. Many of them offer free business
consultations, and they will be able to point you in the right direction.

The blog on Starting a Business in the U.S. as a Foreign National is a great resource. Another approach that may be useful is talking to a mentor who could offer you specific guidance.

Off Campus Employment

Immigration regulations severely limit an international student's eligibility
to accept employment off-campus. Students found working illegally are failing
to maintain their F-1 student status and risk having their F-1 visa revoked.
Off-campus employment is only allowed in the following circumstances:

Curricular Practical Training: Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is
employment that trains you in your field of study and for which you fulfill
academic credit or part of your degree requirement. CPT may be a paid or
unpaid internship, cooperative education job, a practicum, or other
experience that is related in your field of study. Students interested in
doing a CPT must make an appointment to see an advisor in the International
Education Center before beginning CPT to find out if they are eligible and to
pick up the CPT application forms.

Optional Practical Training: Optional Practical Training (OPT) is work in
your major area of study as authorized by the U.S. Customs and Immigration
Services (USCIS). A student must be enrolled for a full academic year to be
eligible to apply for the OPT benefit. Students interested in doing OPT must
discuss their plans with an advisor in the International Education Center to
find out if they are eligible and to pick up the OPT application forms and
instructions.

Severe Economic Hardship Employment This benefit is available to students who
have completed at least one semester and have proven a severe economic
hardship caused by circumstances beyond his or her control that arose after
obtaining F-1 status, and that on-campus employment opportunities are not
available or are otherwise insufficient. This type of employment is extremely
rare. Students must make an appointment to see an advisor in the
International Education Center to find out if they are eligible and to pick
up the Economic Hardship application forms.

Employment with International Organization Students may be eligible for
employment at an international organization if they have been in F-1 status
for at least 9 months and are in good academic standing. This type of
employment must be offered in the form of an internship within your field of
study, by a USCIS recognized international organization. Students interested
in doing a this must make an appointment to see an advisor in the
International Education Center before beginning to find out if they are
eligible and to pick up an application form.

Hope that helps
