    Yes, there is no problem with being paid under Form 1099-MISC since you will NOT be held liable for the FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes, so no wihholding is NOT an issue.

    It IS a technical violation of the visa, but as long as you file the returns and pay the taxes, it will not be an issue with the USCIS.
