| Description | As a 21-year-old bodybuilder, Schwarzenegger came to the United States in 1968 on a B-1 visa, which allows visiting athletes to compete and train, but bars them from drawing a salary from an American company.
But in his 1977 autobiography, Schwarzenegger said he reached a deal with a legendary figure in the bodybuilding industry ``to pay me a weekly salary in exchange for my information and being able to use photographs of me in his magazine.''
That arrangement, said a half-dozen immigration attorneys across the nation, appears to have violated the terms of his visa.
``It allows you to come in to conduct business, but to be gainfully employed you need a visa that allows you to be gainfully employed in the United States,'' said New York-based immigration attorney Steven S. Mukamal. ``It would seem that Mr. Schwarzenegger violated his own status.''
