Again, I’m not an expert, so you should really consult a lawyer or at least some official from the school you’re going to to clarify the whole situation. My guess is this: you can do whatever your want before moving to the US, as long as it complies with the laws of your country. I don’t think that’s a problem. However if you keep making a profit after you’ve started school in the US, that might be an issue. But honestly, I think you can easily transfer the benefits to your parents or a close friend you trust, so your name is not involved in the whole thing.
