Heard from someone you could get h1b via certifications (like AWS) without a need for a college degree, is that right?
I’m from India, planning to move to US on L1 as an IC. I want to get green card in 3-5 years or get out of the country. If I get green card, I want to look at bringing my parents permanently to US. As someone without any research papers, any significant industry presence, how difficult will it be to get an EB1 green card if I start chipping at requirements now? How doable is getting parents within next 5-7 years?
Unless employees in your company are reporting to you in India, your hopes of getting into an EB1 category is close to zero. You need to prove that you've managed EMPLOYEES of your company in multiple countries other than the US.
If you’re not a US citizen but you’re traveling in the US and you own a US company and you occasionally do a couple hours of work for customers (emails, , but mostly sales are automatic) do you really need to get immigration work permit paperwork like an E3 or something to legally be doing that or is it OK?
Hello Peter, thank you for the AMA. I am an Indian undergrad from a top uni, I plan to do a startup after graduating/maybe a year of work experience (I am currently working on it as a side project). What do you think are my options for getting a VISA quickly considering I do not plan to be employed for long and am unlikely to get in via O1 or E2.
(Late to the party, but I'm dropping this note in a bottle.) You should meet Rajat Kuver. He taught and has a private practice now for complex family and work-related immigration cases in the SF Bay Area. Also a cool, decent guy. https://www.kuver.com
Hey Peter, thank you so much for doing this! I'm currently a F-1 student in Michigan doing CS major undergrad. In Jan, I had a DUI case with BOC: 0.09, and I just started with the whole court thing. Since I don't have a result yet, will a bad record lead to an eviction of the country or will it lead to a hard time later if I ever want to apply for green card / H1B in the future?
Hi I am a ML researcher (with a couple papers) in Canada (intl student from India), in senior year of undergrad. What are my chances of O-1? It's supposed to be for extraordinary people which, by definition, can be a very high bar to clear. So I was wondering if there is any point working towards it or just go with L1B or something? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks
What is a good way for someone with Canadian Citizenship but Indian born to move back to US? I did my MS in US and then moved to Canada on PR after failing to get H1B after 3 attempts. I don't work for FANG and work for mid sized Canadian company, so moving through my company is difficult. I would love to move back to US because of more employment opportunities than Canada.

If the GC holder obtains a reentry permit, then 2 years at a stretch and generally up to 5 total without issue.
Is a reentry permit a document that can be obtained by filing the I-131 form, or how can one obtain such a permit? Could you spell out what "2 years at a stretch and generally up to 5 total without issue" means for non-native speakers?

I have a GC and left a few months ago to Canada. Is it too late to get a reentry permit? I don't know if I want to return but having the option for 5 years would be nice. ty!
