USCIS has published a notice in the Federal Register that as of May 11, 2021 they are withdrawing the proposed rule published May 29, 2018. The 2018 Trump Administration change removed the International Entrepreneur Parole Program, this action will restore it!
Background:
Under the International Entrepreneur Rule (IER), DHS may use its parole authority to grant a period of authorized stay, on a case-by-case basis, to foreign entrepreneurs who demonstrate 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 this final rule, entrepreneurs granted parole will be eligible to work only for their start-up business. The spouses and children of the foreign entrepreneur may also be eligible for parole.
