INTRODUCTION
On January 17, 2017, the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) published the final regulation allowing the Secretary of Homeland Security’s discretionary parole authority in order to increase and enhance entrepreneurship, innovation, and job creation in the United States. The International Entrepreneur Rule (the “Final Rule”) will become effective on July 17, 2017.
Usually, parole was granted for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit to applicants for admission temporarily on a case-by-case basis. The Final Rule adds new regulatory provisions guiding the use of parole on a case-by-case basis with respect to entrepreneurs of start-up entities who can demonstrate through evidence of substantial and demonstrated potential for rapid business growth and job creation that they would provide a significant public benefit to the United States.
