GetVisa - A Game on US Immigration
'Get Visa' is a mobile gaming app on U.S. immigration process that will help new immigrants to understand and prepare for their immigration journey.
- San Francisco, CA (1888PressRelease) September 20, 2014 - In 2014, 172,500 people applied for H1B visa. Out of those 51% were rejected through a lottery process. Another 1/4th of the applicants will be denied due to lack of documents or improper filings*.
The process is equally difficult for other visa categories. For example, it may take up to a decade to get a 'Green Card' depending on the country of birth and type of green card one applies for. After this long wait, there is still a chance that the application could be denied.

About Us:
Piyush & Ravi: We graduated from a business school in 2012 and since then have personally experienced the dysfunctions of the US immigration system and the ambiguities surrounding the immigration process. Last year, our application was not selected in the lottery process and this year one of us was denied a green card and other one is waiting for the visa gods to smile.
We wanted to create a guidebook on US immigration process that is easy for everyone to understand and eliminates the ambiguities that surround the application process. This mission led us to create this game that would be both fun to play and informative to understand the US immigration process.
