I'm European and I live and work in the USA (L-1B visa, no green card).
If my company sponsors a green card application, how long is the process? If they don't, what's the easiest option for me to move and work here permanently (including the right to change company, which I don't have now)?
I'm considering work for a US company on an O1 visa, but I hope to spend the majority of the time in my home country and make monthly trips to the US. I have no desire to acquire permanent residency.
I'm happy to be tax-resident while employed and have a mailing/residential address in the US, and I know it's a bit of a pain crossing the border under a visa, but is there a minimum "days in country" requirement to maintain O1 status, either contiguous or per annum? Or any other reason I wouldn't be able to use an O1 in this way?
How long should I expect to adjust status from O-1A to EB-1A? Further, how long should I expect to wait for Advance Parole? Would it be quicker to do consular processing in my home or a third country? If so how long would that take? I live in California, and I am a British Citizen.
What options does an Indian engineer stuck in the green card backlog have? Do they perpetually continue renewing their H1-B? Does this mean that they are somewhat limited in terms of being able to switch jobs?
Sometime, in the future, if I can have $800K to spare, then will go for EB-5. Although, this may take about a decade.
Over the past decade it's become really hard to hire someone on an H1 because they all seem to be snapped up in October. This was especially bad when I was on the board of a private foreign-language school because teachers look for new jobs in March-June, but I'm also looking for certain kinds of technical folks. Fortunately, for most jobs I can start hiring them as remote workers. But that made me wonder: after they…
Are there any special visas for Irish citizens currently? I saw that they may get preferential visas similar to Australians but couldn’t find much detail

Those tools and from a purely U.S. immigration standpoint, take a hard look at people from countries with their own U.S. work visas since these are often easy to obtain.
Are these all of the countries with their own US work visas? H-1B1: Chile and Singapore TN: Canada and Mexico E3: Australia
Hi Peter. I have an O-1 for my current startup that expires in 11 months, I'd like to start a new company with a new founder. Looking at the EB-1a vs EB-2 NIW wait times the wait times are in years for the two parts! Do you think it's worth applying for another O-1 instead with the new company? Is it generally easier to get the O-1 second time around? Thanks!
