Are B1/B2 visas enough to apply for YC?
I am a Computer Engineer born, living and graduated in Brazil. For the past year I've been working as SDE for a company that had clients in the US - which was reason enough for said company to give me a Business Visa (B2).<p>It is not easy to start a company in Brazil - too many regulations, too many taxes, lack of angel investors, lack of personal credit, etc.<p>I did have however the opportunity to save money. So did a friend of mine (college colleague) that was working for Motorola (Brazil), and lost his job due to Motorola's terrible financial 2006.<p>I talked him into the idea of working in a startup project. We have a clear idea and starting to execute. I would personally love to be able to apply for YC this winter: not much because of the money, but as an opportunity to be in a more appropriate environment.<p>Considering that I am able to go to the interview and that my visa expires only in 2012, how hard would it be for YC to accept my application? I imagine there would be some issues irt to paperwork, wouldn't it?
