A Video Illustration From AILA About the Need for the Start Up Visa Act

This is a four minute animation by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) highlighting the plight immigrant entrepreneurs face when trying to keep themselves and their businesses in the United States.

Danny is a foreign student about to graduate from business school.  By the end of his program, he had already launched a successful business venture, with several venture capitalists backing the idea.  However, he could not obtain the right type of visa to stay here and run his business.  Eventually, he moved to Canada, a country that does grant a visa for foreign entrepreneurs.  The video shows why we need the proposed START-UP VISA ACT.  Click here for ways to ADVOCATE FOR IT.
