DHS has announced it is proposing a rule to end the International Entrepreneur Parole Program, which allowed certain foreign entrepreneurs to be considered for parole to temporarily come to the United States to develop and build start-up businesses. In July 2017, DHS published a final rule to delay the implementation date of the International Entrepreneur Final Rule. In December 2017, a federal court vacated the delay rule, requiring USCIS to begin accepting international entrepreneur parole applications under the International Entrepreneur Final Rule. DHS has indicated its new proposed rule will eliminate the International Entrepreneur Final Rule.
