USCIS is updating its policy manual to attract more foreign-born entrepreneurs. This can make it easier for immigrant entrepreneurs to understand the different options to work in the United States.
USCIS has a new menu of options for entrepreneurs. It includes information “for entrepreneurs contemplating starting or managing a business in the United States” and addresses questions foreign entrepreneurs may have:
Under the updated rule released on March 17, 2023, the Department of Homeland Security, on a case-by-case basis, may grant parole to foreign entrepreneurs:
“ DHS may use its parole authority to grant a period of authorized stay, on a case-by-case basis, to noncitizen entrepreneurs who show that their stay in the United States would provide a significant public benefit through their business venture and that they merit a favorable exercise of discretion.”
Under the updated rule, entrepreneurs would receive employment authorization only at their startup business. A spouse is also eligible to be employed in the United States. And the entrepreneur’s spouse and children may also be eligible for parole.
What Is Immigration Parole?
Parole allows someone to enter and potentially work in the United States temporarily. But the person is not to be officially “admitted” to the U.S. to become a permanent resident.
