Given the current H4 visa ban, it seems like we'll have to be separated until next year. What are our best options for her to come back in the US and switch to H4 before January?

Never heard about not being eligible for ESTA after having travelled to Iran. WTF? What kind of weird rule is that?
And you did not use the two passports trick - common if you are Woking in the middle east ?
How do you justify being an American whose work entierly revolves around taking jobs that Americans could have fulfilled and trying to give them to people who are not citizens, did not grow up here, and see America as nothing less than an institution they can use to get ahead?
The idea of a lump of labor is one of the oldest fallacies, and is a mark of a very small, closed mind that is unable to consider higher-order effects.

What is sad about this comment is how the author define and American. USA is a country that is built by immigrant (I am not talking about the CEO of big tech companies, I am talking about your grand-grand parents who came here a few generations ago) How do you justify the people who let you ancestors to immigrate there being Americans whose work... (replace the rest with your own comment!)
50% of the US population came from the original founding stock of the country in 1990. America was not made great immigrants it was made great by British (plus some European) settlers that spoke English and followed Protestant Christian values.

But, as I said, higher order effects. Google Mariel boatlift.
How much of a legal trouble am I in if my company shuttered its physical office because of the pandemic? My H1B visa is tied to that address. The company still has another office in another state.
Throwaway... I'm interested in nomading or maybe working in the US. Either on one of my own things, or perhaps at another startup, mainly for social interaction. I've accumulated some wealth so far. What would be a good option, and how can you prevent being taxed by the US? Do people normally work from their own consulting company/structure, or are people usually on the company's payroll?
If you're working in the US there's no legal way to avoid getting taxed. They aren't going to tax your existing assets outside the US though. There's no wealth tax.
I'm a PhD from Bio background who became a data-scientist in a health-care related (but not biology research) company. I have been reasonably successful in this job, but because of the change in fields I lost my H1B to a failed RFE the one time I passed the lottery.
