I'm currently on an H1B, but I'd like to set up an ecommerce store with a friend. I understand that itself may not have enough grounds to get an O1 visa. Is there any other workaround for this scenario?

#24Hi Peter!, first off, just wanted to say thanks for all the help you provide here! Its nothing short of amazing! I'm currently on an H1B, but I'd like to set up an ecommerce store with a friend.

#25I'm an Australian on an E3 that's been approved for the H1B. Do I need to go all the way to Sydney to get sticker on my passport? It's a long and costly flight ...
I was hoping to be able to do it at an embassy in Canada.
Thanks in advance!

#26Hi Peter, thanks a lot for doing this. My question is: assuming no processing wait for my nationality how long and how much $$ will it take to get an EB3 greencard sponsored by my startup company? thanks!

#27Thank you for doing this Peter! How does the H1B transfer work when switching jobs? How do I make sure that I can stay in the country while switching jobs and I don't have to wait 3 months to get an approval. Thanks
