The number doesn't quite work out: you got two years, and if the business can demonstrate passing certain benchmarks (500k funding or (500k revenue and 20% annual growth) or 10 'murican jobs), you get another 3 years. 5 years is enough if your business fails fast, but otherwise it's unlikely to be sufficient for building one (on average).

This is a parole rather than a visa, so it still leaves the question on what's the follow up afterward.

> 10 'murican jobs

I'm about the farthest thing there is from a SJW, but have you considered how people will interpret your use of the slang "`murican"?

To me, it sounds like a reference to a meme which paints persons from the southern part of the U.S. as parochial and unintelligent.

Have I misunderstood the reference?

[NhanH]

I'm not aware of any meme with the usage of "'murican" that paints certain part of the US as parochial and unintelligent.

In any case, that's not what I intended. My usage of "'murican" would have been closer to the joke about Canadians always apologizing than your reading.

Yes, you have. He was referring to people of the entire U.S., not just the southern part.
