Any advice you get will be worthless because continuity and consistency do not factor in to this administration's thinking; its driven by expediency and whim rather than procedure or substance. In some policy areas one might expect things to settle down after the disruption of a new administration, but given that immigration is Trump's core policy issue and the one on which his base is most radicalized, where things stand a year from depends entirely on how Trump is doing in the polls. My guess is that the Trump admin will be polling at mediocre or poor levels next year, with 6 months to go before a mid-term election so immigration enforcement will become more draconian in order to drive GOP turnout. If he's doing better than I anticipate, they might roll out some sort of fa$t track for business applicants. Your options as I see them: - marry an American and be ready to drop $50,000 on your green card application process/legal fees, assuming you have never, ever done anything wrong including parking or speeding tickets - commit social suicide and become a MAGA influencer that tweets at least 20x/day in fulsome praise of the president, ideally focusing on some niche where you have expertise. I say social suicide because you will have to prioritize loud political loyalty over rationality, dignity, or other considerations, and you will need to get internet famous and become an enemy of the left/the establishment/some definable MAGA out-group. This will only work if you have the willingness to pursue celebrity/notoriety as a full-time goal while projecting religious levels of devotion. - start your business now and aim to hire as many Americans (the whiter the better) as possible over the next year. Spend at least 5% of your operating budget on PR, position yourself as job creator #1 (eg almost every photograph of you should depict you surrounded by a team of Americans, all the corporate happy talk should revolve around hiring, growth, opportunity etc., double points if you do it in a red state, triple points if you can do it away from an urban hub). Your PR does not have to be explicitly MAGA, but it will have to be overtly red-white-and blue and generate plenty of media. Again budget a lot for your legal fees. It sounds cynical, but I believe that for the foreseeable future any application for US residency benefits will be evaluated on optics at least as much as merits.
