Has YC rejected applicant because of possible visa issues due to country of origin because of travel bans? Should those still apply for YC?

  These questions should be addressed to YC. All I can say is that I have seen founders from just about every country around the world accepted into YC.

    Right, apologize about misunderstanding. My question is in fact is there a chance to request waivers about founders seeking O1 visa that are affected by the recent travel ban on certain countries (with Iranian passport)?

      I see. Yes, waivers are possible but the standard for them is high and reports so far are that the vast majority of such requests are being rejected.
