As I understand it you have to form a company in the USA and that requires an agent or partner in the USA.

Anyone can open a US corp- there are a jillion registered agents for hire in Nevada alone.
The problem in this instance is that Visa requires that the Ccbill principal to hold either a Social Security number or US driver's license.
For many, this means handing over the financial reins of your company to someone else, in another country no less, and is a risk few are comfortable taking.

In my case, I have special immigration circumstances. Some others have US based relatives or good friends that have helped them.
