If you have good brands in your book, awards, speaking engagements, press, judging experience to show, you can apply for an EB1A greencard as self-petition (no employer needed to sponsor), it’s faster than the employer-sponsored route through H1b. Expect to pay 10k all in.

Living in Atlanta.

The catch is I already file my tax without those FICA tax. Should I pay them and file tax amendment?
