U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would withdraw a 2018 proposed rule that would have eliminated the International Entrepreneur parole program.
Key Points:
Background: The Obama administration established the IE final rule in January 2017. Before the rule took effect, the Trump administration delayed the implementation of the program to seek public comments on a new proposal intending to end the parole program. A federal court vacated the delay in December 2017, forcing USCIS to begin accepting IE parole applications consistent with the Obama administration final rule. The Biden administration now has formally withdrawn the proposal intended to eliminate the IE program.
Additional Information: More information on eligibility requirements and the application process is available on the IE parole program page.
