rafikicoln··on Launch HN: CodeCrafters (YC S22) – Practice writing complex software
Looks super cool but I agree that the price point is high. Maybe not in the US/Canada, but I live in Mexico and it’s just not something that I can spend the money on even with a learning budget that usually only cover some % of the course.

Hey Peter, thank you for doing this! Can you be a founder and/or have a side business if you are in the I-485 stage of the GC?

I would love to help out keeping dothub alive. I had a few issues getting it to run but I think it is super cool! :))

I also filed a similar bug in github regarding open sourcing dothub.

rafikicoln··on Ask HN: What do you struggle the most with when deploying personal projects?
Yeah, good point, I guess most of it comes with practice. Cool article! I really liked that you complemented them with videos.

Hi Peter,

Is it possible for an H1B holder to incorporate a business abroad and do business abroad? (i.e. the clientele is in the foreign country and the money is in the foreign country too) Would that bring immigration issues/problems?

Thank you!

Hi Peter, thank you so much. My company is currently sponsoring me for an EB3. I have two questions.

1) We just submitted the application to get the prevailing wage from the Labor Dept. From your experience, how much time is there left in the process given the current administration? I am of a nationality that does not have a backlog for EB3

2) When can I switch jobs without having to start all over again?

Thanks a lot for doing this, Peter.

rafikicoln··on Ask HN: Does a good desk setup make you more productive?
No, a good vim setup does ;)

Hi Peter, thanks a lot for doing this. My question is: assuming no processing wait for my nationality how long and how much $$ will it take to get an EB3 greencard sponsored by my startup company? thanks!

Thank you for doing this Peter! How does the H1B transfer work when switching jobs? How do I make sure that I can stay in the country while switching jobs and I don't have to wait 3 months to get an approval.

Thanks

rafikicoln··on Welcome, ACLU
Especially now, it is very important to voice our concerns to our representatives. I've found https://www.mailyourrep.io/ to be really good at letting me do just that.
rafikicoln··on Ask HN: How does one go from junior engineer to mid-level in less than a year?
Thanks!
rafikicoln··on Ask HN: How does one go from junior engineer to mid-level in less than a year?
I meant really earning it, as in, accelerating the learning needed to be at that level

Hi Peter,

Thank you so much for taking the time. My question is: As a recent grad from an American U, can OPT and OPT STEM extension be used to start a new company?

Thanks Peter! So then would you suggest to wait on (fingers crossed) getting an H1-B from an employer and then transferring to the new startup?
