Nice idea. Feels like a version of the E-2, brought in line with the new realities of the cost of starting a web based business - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E2_visa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E2_visa (government is always slow). Rather than requiring applicants to bring monetary capital into the country, they'd be required to bring start-up capital, as measured by those who will invest in it.
- jerryji 18y agoMy E-2 interview (at the US embassy in Singapore) is scheduled at the end of this month. Cost me more than $6K (in attorney fee, etc) and countless number of hours to prepare all the documents without any guarantee that I'll get it. It _is_ more scary than applying to YC, now good luck to myself.
