Hi Peter. Which countries are the most popular destinations for founders to immigrate to, in your opinion? I've heard Dubai is the best place right now. Thanks!

#92Whats the best path forward for a h1b solopreneur who wants to gain some traction on the side project before quitting their full time job and going all in on an idea? Keep going and get into an accelerator and apply for an o1? Or are there new paths with the entrepreneurial parole program?
There are other paths but this is a complicated/lengthy/nuanced discussion that requires a call with an immigration attorney.

#97Hi Peter! You did my E3 visa a while back. When I was standing in line at the US consulate in Sydney, the person in front of me was really nervous, visibly shaking. I saw that their papers had your letterhead, so I was able to calm them down a bit by showing them my papers, which also had your letterhead. Thanks for all your hard work!

#98Maybe this is too far outside your area. I'm an American living in Canada, and am leery about the best legal structure for my business. Cross border accounting is a nightmare. Any advice?

#100Could you advise on when it's appropriate/advisable to contract an attorney for assisting immigration?
I'm not sure that I understand the question. Can you elaborate?
