My first post here. Not the best one to start out with I guess, but it's something that's on my mind. I'm 15 years old, and I'm launching my startup in the coming few months. Thinking about my future, I'd love to move to the states.
Is there anything I can do to greater my changes of getting a visa or greencard now? Anything particular to startups?
Cheers, Lachy
Learn the things you'll hear people dismiss as "academic". They do that because those things are hard :) There are many people out there capable of figuring out how to use jQuery after reading a few tutorials. Much fewer understand how computers actually work. Learn the theory. You can start before university.
This isn't meant to be insulting. It's just something I wish someone told me at that age. When you are young, it is easy to impress those around you who "aren't good with computers". When that happens, briefly congratulate yourself, then keep working.
