Since we're on the subject... Can anyone just incorporate a company in the United States? Even if they don't have permit to work? Separate question, can they be employed by the company they incorporated, remotely, and use the company to bill American customers?

Having queried an US accountant, you should be able to create a US company without being there, you mostly require an ITIN and fill paperwork, you can hire an accountant to do that.

On the other hand, you won't be able to get a bank account unless you travel to the US, I'm not sure if alternatives like Mercury could get you a bank account without being at the US.

At last, you can't be employed by your company unless you have a work permit.

I have even saw companies that promise to open you a US company + bank account + handle taxes for a monthly fee.

Speaking from experience - yes you can create a LLC without being a US citizen or green card holder. You also can get bank accounts with Wise and Mercury for your company without traveling to the US.
