Is it possible to have different days of obligation for different rites? Like is the feast of SS. Peter and Paul still obligatory for Byzantine catholics in the US?
 
Yes. Tomorrow is obligatory for Byzantine Catholics in the US.
 
Yes, as different rites have different liturgical calendars. Also, within a given rite, various particular churches may set differing requirements concerning days of obligation.
 
Yes, that is entirely possible and actually happens. Note that the obligation is based on one’s canonical Church membership, not the parish that one actually attends.

Sure is. The Carpatho Rusyn miners living and working in Van Meter PA in 1907 avoided the worst mining disaster in Commonwealth history- because they were in church for St. Nicholas Day instead of working.
 
Yes, different rites have different days of obligation. Even within the Roman Rite, different dioceses may have different days of obligation.
 
An Irish man travelling or living abroad, is required and encouraged, to go to Mass on St Patrick’s day even though the diocese where he goes to Mass might celebrate some other saint or solemnity or Lent.
 
Incorrect:

Can. 13 §2. Travelers are not bound:
1/ by the particular laws of their own territory as long as they are absent from it unless either the transgression of those laws causes harm in their own territory or the laws are personal

Moreover, an Irishman living abroad would be a subject of his diocese of residence, not national origin:

Can. 107 §1. Through both domicile and quasi-domicile, each person acquires his or her pastor and ordinary.

Members of the Eastern Churches are in an entirely different situation from Latin travelers or migrants.
 
In EO everything colored red in the calendar is mandatory. All Sundays are colored red e.g.
