I just got my GC (submitted 1-140 and 485 in Maj 2005 and received my GC in December 2005). Applied as a manager with my own business (2 people) in the US. Last year I started my own business, got it legalized in the states and here I am.
It is not that hard and can be done without investing money in the US - just have to submit necessary paperwork.
I got the necessary informations and opened my company with them: www.uslegalcorp.com. They have special services for people abroad who cannot comeple all steps to start a business in the US, but still walk you through the process of registering your business, mail forwarding and well as immigartion infos.
Great job.
