Hello Peter, thanks for doing this.

I'd like to know your opinion about acquiring an EB-1 visa being an IT worker. How difficult do you think it is ?.

I'd like to try to do what Julian Shapiro did: https://www.tefter.io/bookmarks/48931/readable.

Also, I'm in H1B-1. Could it be dangerous for me to try this?

Such a filing would have no impact on your current H-1B status or your ability to extend this status. Regarding an EB1A, the standard applied is extremely high and very difficult but we as well as other attorneys file them for IT professionals. It's just going to depend on how strong your background is. I'm not familiar with Julian Shapiro.
