The progress is being made by the Obama Administration; they now allow funded founders with a board who can terminate their employment to qualify for 'work visa certification' and become eligible for H1-B and EB-2 visas. We're still working on the legislature to push a full Startup Visa through. Because the administration 'clarified' existing rules, another administration (or even the same Administration re: the Neufeld memo) can reverse these changes, again locking out foreign founders. It'll take legislative action to provide the certainty for founders to be able to invest the necessary time to growing their companies here. I always say, there's no cap on success in the startup world; if you have traction, funding will follow. We just want to add more ingredients into the frothy startup community.
