Problèmes de visa ?

Cela dépasse tout simplement l’entendement. Après avoir levé 6 millions de dollars pour financer sa start-up, et recruté 10 personnes aux Etats-Unis, le CEO de Zemanta se voit refuser sa demande de renouvellement de visa et doit rentrer en Slovénie.

Combien d’autres emplois détruits par l’aveuglement de ce système ?

Bostjan Spetic’s problem isn’t running a U.S. business. It’s running a business while in the U.S.

Zemanta CEO Bostjan Spetic dreams of being back in New York City.

His company Zemanta Ltd. is experiencing success here, having recently raised an additional $3 million to grow its New York-based team. The problem is that visa troubles are keeping Spetic back in his home country of Slovenia.

Spetic has been in the U.S. for about a year, but his visa extension request was denied two weeks ago soon after receiving the funding. He’s now trying to figure out how to reapply.
