Note that you can work part-time in H-1B status for a for-profit company while on a cap-exempt H-1B. But beyond this, without knowing your qualifications, I would look at the O-1 .

Thanks for the prompt response!

To shed some more light on qualifications, I've BS+MS in ECE with ~3 years of experience in the security field. I'm a member of a well recognized standards committee defining security standards. I've given conference talks, and published articles in industry trade journals.

Does that make my odds of getting O1 visa (or EB1 green card) higher in any way?

Yes, definitely, it sounds like an O-1 would be a strong option.
