The Competitive Enterprise Insitute based in Washington DC released a study titled “America Still Needs a True Entrepreneurship Visa” authored by David Bier. The study discusses the need for a visa for immigrant entrepreneurs. It also analyses the Invest Visa provisions as laid out in the Senate bill (S.744) and the Entrepreneur Visa provisions in the SKILLs Visa Act. We are very proud and honored that reference was made to our articles and work authored by Tahmina Watson (make sure you check out the footnotes!). We are also honored that Tahmina was quoted several times. Thank you David Bier and CEI for the honor.
Our regular readers will know that Watson Immigration Law is passionate about the Startup Visa Act and has been a strong advocate on the issue. We commend CEI for taking the time to prepare such an important study.
We want to remind our readers that all shortcomings of the Invest Visa provisions were addresses by way of an amendment filed by Senator Moran’s office. Our readers will remember that an amendment was filed after much hard work by Senator Moran’s office, our office, Craig Montuori and Munly Leong, founders of www.startupvisa.com. The amendment, though filed, was not heard before the Senate passed the bill. Our efforts are ongoing nevertheless and we hope in due course we can formally address the shortcomings again. Here is our previous blogpost as a reminder of those events.
