I tried looking at your sight, and cannot find any research that you guys have done and released under the terms of your NSF grant? I suggest you would do yourself a favor to highlight any research you have made available per your terms of accepting the grant. TIA

> I tried looking at your sight ...

I think you may have meant "site".

FYI: E3 visas allow you to hire Australians without the need-a-US-Masters-to-improve-cutoff-odds H1B raindance.

What's wrong with other master degrees?

We have found the h1 process is easier in these cases.

Hiring is the most important thing your company is going to do, so limiting the pool for a little bit (or more) of "hassle" doesn't look wise, at best.

We're one of few early-stage startups we know of that sponsor H1B's at all so we're quite unique in this regard. We have 3 out of our team of 12. But we have to focus on recruiting team-members that have the highest probability of getting an H1 visa ultimately and having a US Masters degree in a STEM discipline greatly increases these chances. This is a conversation for a different thread but wanted to clarify as your assumption was mistaken.

My mistake - I forgot about that lottery side of H1B...
