The recommendation makes sense to me and I agree it's worth exploring. In the interest of time, if you'd like to escalate your interests to Nina, I'm comfortable with you doing so. We will likely require outside counsel to provide some perspective on immigration law, etc.. which will take some time. Happy to discuss further on our call as well.
