Sure. I agree, which is why my original statement was essentially, "Yes, there are loads of examples of it being screwed up. This doesn't sound like one of them."
I definitely agree that the US immigration system is pretty broken, but assuming that the US system was fixed, and there were still different kinds of visas, it wouldn't magically be broken again because people got denied for applying for the wrong kind.
- dandelany 17y agoI think you're missing the point: there's no "wrong kind." There's no way for a non-US Citizen with $65k in the bank to legally come start his or her business in this country, even though its (relatively) easy for people to slip across either border. It's not a matter of "oops, I accidentally applied for the investor visa, I should've picked up the startup-founder visa instead."
