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."
Arnold performed no work, so it's not a "salary". He licensed permission to use his pictures and talk about him in the mag in exchange for a license fee to be paid in weekly installments.

"Mr. Schwarcenegger is paid by Weider International for stories he writes for various publications and for pictures of himself. Another fringe benefit is the fact that he purchases Formula #7 and other Weider products at cost. (Tr. 303) He, also, consults with Mr. Weider about once a month on the subject of physical training. (Tr. 316) "

And.... just last week he said he had a "resident visa" when he first came here in 1968.
