As part of the U.S. government’s efforts to grow the American economy and boost job creation，the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services（USCIS）has recently initiated a series of new policies，known as “Entrepreneurs in Residence”，to attract and retain foreign entrepreneurs and investors. Although the U.S. government is aware that immigrant entrepreneurs are among the most successful job creators，the existing immigration framework and USCIS policies do not serve immigrant entrepreneurs well or reflect the business realities they face. By re-interpreting existing laws and amending government regulations，the USCIS is trying to provide immigrant entrepreneurs with clearer and more consistent pathways that are better aligned with modern business environments. This article analyzes the existing avenues for immigrant entrepreneurs provided by the U.S. immigration laws and the recent changes brought about by the new USCIS policies.
