A bill for Comprehensive Immigration reform “The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act” was released two weeks ago. The bill specifically addresses provisions for the Startup Act that many of us have been waiting for. Named the “Invest Visa”, the provision seeks to provide visas for immigrant entrepreneurs starting companies in the US. If you feel stuck on your H1b, F1 or other visa but are desperate to have your own startup, the Invest Visa (Startup Visa Act) will create that path for you.
Please come and learn about the provisions, discuss the details and make suggestions to improve the provisions so that YOU can benefit from it. We hope to have some subject-matter experts join us to discuss the bill too. Here are some links:

This is a very exciting time in immigration law and for high-skilled immigrants. Please come and participate in a discussion that could potentially shape these provisions! Your input is crucial!
