I'm an engineering manager at a mature YC company. I work with an extremely talented and hard working machine learning engineer in Armenia. He received a Special Talents permit to work in the United States over a year ago.

Then his visa was abruptly frozen. He found out at the airport, with is wife, when he tried to board his flight, after moving out and packing everything they owned.

The Department of State has been reviewing his case for nearly a year. They will not release any details about the review.

As his employer, how can we expedite his processing? He's critical to my company's success.

We've tried writing our Congressman and Senators, but it hasn't helped.

Does anyone know someone pro-business in the current executive administration who can help?
