I wish it was that easy to get a work visa to come into US :(. As PG said in one of the essays about why Silicon Valley is special, immigration is one area where it falls flat.

Getting a work visa is next to impossible these days. You apply by Apr 1 and you MAY know in OCT if your visa was approved or not - it is a lottery system.

6 months is a lifetime for a YC startup.

IMHO, there must be another solution, like setting up a YC hub in Vancouver or something :)
