Why should the United States accept everyone who announces they would like to start a company? But it does with the E2 visa (for treaty countries).
And your problem is that you can't stay forever when the business fails?
- lkrubner 10y agoAwesome, so he will create his company in Europe, generate jobs in Europe, generate tax revenue in Europe, generate economic activity in Europe, and create new technology in Europe. USA immigration policies For The Win!!!!!

- Sir_Substance 10y agoNo offense to fovc, who I wish all the best, but you're assuming his company will be a success.
- raverbashing 10y agoCorrect. But you can't have a successful company without having a company in the first place Like you can't blow out a candle without it being lit in the first place.
- dusanbab 10y agoAnd what's the risk to the US if it isn't? Compared to the impact and risk of existing visa categories?
- Sir_Substance 10y agoNot sure what your point about existing categories is, but with respect to the point that it might be all roses for the US to invite foreigners to found companies, just off the top of my head: Most of the investors that get involved are likely to be in the US, they may have limited legal avenues to pursue if the company fails due to negligence or fraud and the founder moves back home. Depending on the financial status of the founder, the US might have to choose between providing social support or paying for deportation.
- dusanbab 10y agoI'm not saying it's all roses. I'm talking about risk/reward. I'm trying to compare it to the potential upside of any immigrant category. Entrepreneurs present some downside, but no more than any other visa/immigrant category. One heck of a lot more upside though, IMO.
