I'll be here for the next 5-6 hours. As usual, there are countless topics given the rapidly changing immigration landscape and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and I'll try to do the same in my answers.

Edit: I am taking a break now and will return later this afternoon/evening to respond to any comments and answer any questions. Thank you everyone for a great and engaged AMA so far.

Thanks, Peter! What's the most viable visa for European to-be founders looking to move to the US (without affiliation to any institution / accelerator)?

I've been considering (a) going on a M-1 or F-1 master's student visa while working remotely my non-US company or (b) applying for an E1 Treaty Investor Visa. Are there other routes I haven't considered, and are there any unclear watch-outs around these two routes?
