Any past Y Combinator foreign applicants got into the program but can't get a US visa?
- litepost 19y agoJust marry an American. It's really that simple. :) In all seriousness, if you _do_ marry an American, it is very likely that the US government/immigration service (now dba Dept. of Homeland Security) will forgive any extended but unauthorized stay in the US, AND give you a EAC (employment authorization card), followed immediately by a (SSN and) Green Card. If you don't want to marry an American, you need to typically have some serious a) connections, b) money, c) credentials, and/or d) accomplishments under your belt. In lieu of those, you need an attractive American employer who has one or more of the above-noted qualities. ;) Please correct me if I am mistaken in any of these assertions...
- staunch 19y agoMarry an American and give up 50% of your equity in the company?
- pixcavator 19y agoYou are mistaken on "immediate". These days everything takes years. I wouldn't expect "forgiveness" either.
- Keios 19y agoThis is something that worries me too, from my research only Y Combinator can help if the need arises.
