Yes, freelancing might not be exactly legal. Lot of people still do it.

IANAL, but I think it is legal to work for a foreign company from US, as long as the company is in no way associated or affiliated to US. Someone please correct me if wrong.

It's not, we checked that before coming to the US. My wife was a performance engineer in our home country, and there was some discussion about her keeping her job and working remotely, but our immigration attorney said that would be illegal.
