About the Startup Visa

In February 2010, Senators John Kerry and Richard Lugar introduced a bill that would create a new class of visa for foreign-born entrepreneurs who start companies here, calling it the Startup Visa. Entrepreneurs who want to obtain one of these visas must raise $250,000 in funding from an investor in the U.S. They can then become a permanent legal resident after two years if their company has either raised an additional $1 million, hit $1 million in revenue, or created at least five full-time jobs in the U.S.
