DHS Delays Implementation of Rule Easing Entry of International Entrepreneurs

By immigrationprof

Trump

The Trump administration continues to restrict the avenues for immigration.  Yesterday, we blogged about possible restrictions on foreign student visas.   The latest:  In a move that drew criticism from the technology industry, the Trump administration has delayed the rollout of the International Entrepreneur Rule, proposed last year and set to take effect July 17 that would have granted entry for 30 months to foreigners seeking to build and grow their businesses in the U.S.

 The Department of Homeland Security decision, announced Monday, delays implementation of the rule until March 14, 2018. But the department said it also plans to open the matter to public comment and possible rescind the program.
