You see, a corporate CEO as far as I know is a matter of Your inside papers only. Therefore if VISA checks for names associated in information networks and data bases with Your company they will see names of shareholders , registering agent and so on - but they wont see Your CEO name there.

You might want to double check your facts. In the state of Nevada, which has a reputation as a corporate friendly state...
It is not required to disclose the corporation's shareholders.
Shareholders are the actual owners of the corporation.
Corporations in the state of nevada are required to file what is called the ANNUAL LIST OF OFFICERS. This document becomes part of public record. It lists the President, Secretary, Treasurer, and at least one Director. The corporation shall maintain a resident agent within the state of Nevada.
Having a corporation, in the USA is fairly simple, however being able to prove a physical presence in the USA requires bringing to stage several elements.
Your USA bank account is positive, however you may be shooting yourself in the foot for future USA business presence requirements, which I believe all of us will agree are coming.
Many of us with merchant accounts have received those fraud alert announcements from our processor, advising extra caution when doing transactions with Eastern Europe and Asia.
How could you possibly think they will continue to embrace foriegn located high risk website operators, even when running under a third party processor.
Also, the law may seem a little twisted. You as a foreign national may own a business here in the USA, however you may not be employed (perform work for salary) by the corporation, unless you have been granted the right to work. I am sure there are many who will take advantage of this new policy, to really get their business presence/structure together. Some will even use their US business presence as a vehicle to obtain a business Investor Visa, which is semi complicated, but requires a "signifigant business in the USA".
