I mean business startup visa.

Babyvet:


Start up like what?

Chapecoense:

Wow, I am just now seeing this here.. But dont you think the 5-10yr background check will be waved since they havent been in the US that long? As long as they have the right to work legally, they should be fine? And the background check will likely span the entire history of the immigrant in the US. Even if its less than 2yrs.

Another example will be trying to allow Permanent Residents to become Secret Service Agents who also are charged with the responsibility of protecting the life of United States President...

It would also be disastrous if one of them end up killing the United States President.

Laws are put in place for a reason and so far those Laws for worked very well and continue to protect the interest of the United States.

Those Laws should be upheld.

There are other well paying jobs that new immigrants can do until they're able to meet the minimum requirements for the jobs they are applying.

They already have that category already. I have talked about it in previous posts. But they need an immigration that benefits the masses something similar to Canada skilled workers program, not exactly like it but something similar.

Please give me the link to a US startup visa. I'm only aware of EB1(a) for extra ordinary talent, EB5 for investor investing $500k and $1M and E2 visa for countries that are treaty to US.

Check uscis website very well,you will find what you are looking for.

I've checked very well, there is no specific visa class for immigrants startups, most of the similar visas are employment based visa. See Canada startup visa https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/start-visa.html

It’s kind of the same concept but here you need to invest in a large business or create your own business.

Similar results but different approach.besides why don't you sign up for the one in Canada instead ?.

How many entrepreneurs has $500k and $1M to startup a business. Canada startup visa doesn't require you to have any money, just your idea and funding from venture capitalist grants someone the startup visa.

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. No substitute for success.

Hello
I have a friend working in the bank industry and wants to travel here. Her major worry is adjusting and if going into nursing will be better than what she's currently doing. What are the challenges and is the pasture greener here? I am just afew months here and I can't necessarily advice her much. Share your experiences.

Doing what in the banking industry exactly? That makes a big difference on the answers you will get.

Canada is not going to be easy for that start up. Your start up must be really really good and have potential really good return for them to invest in a foreigner.

Exactly , nothing wrong with going into nursing but if a person does not like it or does not find it tolerable , they will burn out terribly.

They've had that for years in the US. I've meet a few Africans with it but never a Nigerian.

"To qualify as an immigrant investor, a foreign national must invest, without borrowing, the following minimum qualifying capital dollar amounts in a qualifying commercial enterprise:

$1,000,000 (U.S.); or
$500,000 (U.S.) in a high-unemployment or rural area, considered a targeted employment area.
A qualifying investment must, within two years, create full-time jobs for at least 10 U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or other immigrants authorized to work in the United States, not including the investor and the investor’s spouse, sons, or daughters."

I had a coworker that waited 15 years in line to become a flight controller.

He was finally hired just two years short of aging out.

EgunMogaji:


A few years back, maybe 5, I flew United from Houston to Lagos and the Pilot was an African American male. Now, to get such cushy routes like that it means that he is high in seniority. Many years in the airline.

I've been here way too long, since 1986, so I've seen quite a bit.

You have 9 years on me �

LUCAS99:


His name probably matched the TSA Watchlist.

The TSA Watchlist contains names of individuals who are known and suspected of being involved in Terrorist Activities.

They are barred from flying within and into the United States and are usually not allowed to board an aircraft.

Incorrect. The watchlist is notoriously flawed. Even cartoon characters are on it SMH.

Umm no. We have to be MORE stringent because you just got here. We don't know you!

Get rid of the 14th amendments . Clowns!!!

US with it's history of discrimination, wants to get rid of 14th amendments and immigrants (probably first generation immigrants) are the ones championing this cause ? Hahahaha

Some people don't think long term they just think what is beneficial and/or sounds good to them at the present moment.

Maybe they should bring back black people sitting at the back of the bus/airplane so we immigrants (especially blacks) can be "humble". or some laws before pre civil Rights movement

Y'all (Trump people) just love creating chaos.

THANK you.

Correct. It's what all the rich Asians and middle easterners use

And Canada doesn't have as many people trying to come in either.... Yet. Get a venture capitalist to fund you 500k without declaring it as a loan.

radautoworks:

I don't understand what you mean by even cartoon characters are on it.

The TSA Watchlist is a closely monitored list.

This is actually a matter of National Security Interest.

You don't joke with it.

radautoworks:


THANK you.

You're welcome bro.

I've been thinking. What will happen to all the kids born to Indians and foreign doctors/prof on H1b

What will happen to children born to Nigerians/PR holders that bring their forieng spouse to the US

It looks really simple on the surface. But it's not.
It'll create more issues than I'll solve.

Venture Capitalist that will want 55% or more equity is that one a Venture Capitalist.

Some even want Perpetual Royalty for life.

God forbid if the business becomes successful then they can easily kick you out of a company you created through hard work.

You're better off requesting for a Business Line of Credit OR a Business Loan from the Big Banks.

Nigerians, don't use your own hands to disenfranchise your kids fighting for policies that won't help you all on the long run. You are immigrants, they are first generation Americans.

They are not even referred to as Americans, they are AFRICAN Americans

Susan, who came from Hungary or Ukraine or Serbia or any other poverty strike Eastern Europe 3years ago, her kids are American (not European American). People don't go around asking her where she's from (in a weird "why are you here" way)

In as much as I love your enthusiasm and your optimism about your dreams and aspirations,you should know that those expectations are not just easy to come by in reality.
There are stiff competitions everywhere for funding and some of the conditions attached to such would probably turn You to slave working for them indirectly.
Beside,how many venture capitalists as you called them are ready to throw their money on some untested ideas and do you expect Canada to throw open their borders just because you have an idea ??..if you think in that direction,then rude shock awaits you.
Even when we talk about how easy it is to get loans from banks in the US doesn't means they just throw open their vault for you just because you have a business idea that has not been put to use.
They are many tech startups in Nigeria that started with nothing but they are doing fine now and progressing with some attracting foreign investors.Typical example of such tech startup is PAYSTACK.google them.they are less than 2yrs old.
