I have a startup and we have couple of paying clients. If we decide to setup a India office it is possible to transfer myself to the india subsidiary and get myself transfer back on Eb1 (Multi national executive).
What is the estimated timeline for each of I-140 and I-485 in an average EB2-NIW case these days?
What is the best path for my wife, who was brought here illegally when she was 8 and is here semi-legally because of DACA, to go about getting a green card and/or citizenship? I am personally a US citizen.
The marriage-based GC route but she'll need to get a waiver.
Do H1B visas granted outside the cap to employees of universities or nonprofits differ greatly from those granted to employees subject to the H1B cap? I seem to remember reading that an H1B visa granted outside the cap could not be used for working for a company subject to the cap, you would have to reapply and be subject to the lottery.

Any advice for early career academics?, eg As a reasonably successful postdoc at, say, Stanford (good scholarship, steady publication record, presentations at international conferences, and so on, but no proper 'recognized awards of excellence'), is it even worth considering EB1A, as opposed to a EB…

Should I wait to get my actual green card and then quit?

I'm a photography artist and have recently become also a tech start-up entrepreneur. We're now looking into moving into the US within the next year or so and I'm looking into the visa options. What would be the visa to apply as an start-up entrepeneur? I have also considered applying for the O-1 visa as an artist. Can I work as an artist if I have received my visa on the basis of the start-up and vice versa can I wor…
