I'm guessing the OP is the Aradhya mentioned in the article.
1. Aradhya could've filed for H1-B for this year through his own company, since the deadline has passed for this, this is now irrelevant.
2. One option is to apply for O-1A visa awarded to individuals of extraordinary ability.
The US immigration system is definitely broken, but in this specific case, the change of status is not a sudden occurrence and Aradhya would've been aware that the policy change isn't happening in time and should've been prepared for it.
Thanks for your message. At the time of deadline my company had some financial constraints that would not allow me to apply. I am currently looking into the O-1A visa option. And you are right, I have spent time preparing for all different eventualities and the purpose of this article was to share my story with other entrepreneurs who might be facing this situation soon.
