Encouraging entrepreneurs to create and develop promising start-up entities in the United States is a critical component to economic growth. The Niskanen Center supports the premise that allowing foreign entrepreneurs entry in the U.S. to launch innovative, financially sound start-up businesses will facilitate research and development in the United States, create employment opportunities at home and abroad, and positively benefit the U.S. economy in a multitude of other ways.
After conducting outreach with investors, non-profits, entrepreneurs, lawmakers, and foreign graduates, the Niskanen Center has concerns about a number of substantive and procedural provisions in the international entreprenuer rule that USCIS proposed this August. Fine-tuning certain provisions of the rule will help increase legitimacy of the program and further the purpose of the rule.
