I get asked about this a lot, so to follow up on Geoff's post, I've written a post with a proven way to get a visa in the US: http://eliasbizannes.com/blog/2012/07/how-to-become-a-full-time-entrepreneur-in-the-us/
I've now done the E3 visa three times, without a lawyer and have three years of border crossing experience to boot. Hope this helps a few of you out there.
