Ask HN: Any startups focusing on US non-immigrants?
With the recent layoffs (that hurt H-1B visa & GC status) and the
long waiting for the US Visa interview appointments in the
countries like India & Canada, it seems, there are barriers to
entry into the US and maintaining the status. Are they any
startups, especially from non-immigrants, that address these pain
points?

| Why does Canada have a long wait time? Population is smaller than

| Yes, that's the whole point!
