Hi folks,

How do people who go into entrepreneurship and nonprofit make a living post MBA (and spending everything on tuition)?

Any success stories with EB5? Who did you use? How were the investment terms? Been on H1b 9 years now and no end in sight with eb2 wait. Concerned with risk of outright fraud not 500k investment amnt.

Just heard my H1B petition was approved. Visa will be valid starting Oct 1, 2021. I am also scheduled to get promoted in October (unsure of which date exactly). Hypothetically, if I get promoted from Account Coordinator to Account Manager I on Oct 5, after my H1B kicks in on Oct 1, how would this work logistically? Planning on going back to home country and also getting the visa issuance in Dec. Similar experience, anyone? Appreciate your input.

Got H1B lottery picked up last year (2021). Now I have an approved petition. But I am not holding visa.

In this situation - can I able to switch company? Can I able to change the petitioner(new employer) in this approved petition?

Well I guess my holdings are never going back up in value

Trying to get the formal approval from my company before officially signing up, advice welcome!

-data pipelines for a personal website

-relevant memes
-scientific article
-data news
-what you'd like to see data driven but isn't
