Ask HN: Letter for visa for YC interview

Posted by helloanand on Tuesday November 05, 2013 @04:58AM
from the ask-hn dept.

The good news is that we got selected for the YC interview, the question is - will they issue an invitation letter for visa/immigration formalities? We would be coming over from India.

YC does issue invitation letters for founders traveling from outside US. We interviewed with YC and 2 of our co-founders flew in from India (they already had their B1 visas).

Just write to them and they should be able to send you the letters through HelloSign.

Good luck for your interview!

They say in their question and answers that they don't help with visas...

Thanks! We just need the invitation letter and not help with Visa per se. All of us have worked/lived in the US before so the Visa shouldn't be a problem, just that we need a letter to make a case for the travel.
