ENTREPRENEURSHIP
In the context of U.S. immigration, entrepreneurship refers to the act of founding, operating, or managing a business or startup within the U.S. by foreign nationals. U.S. immigration policies offer specific pathways, such as the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa, and the International Entrepreneur Parole program, to support foreign entrepreneurs who bring investment, innovation, and job creation potential to the U.S. economy. These pathways allow entrepreneurs to reside in the U.S. temporarily or pursue permanent residency under certain conditions tied to their business activities and contributions.
