Release Date
USCIS updated guidance on the International Entrepreneur Rule in the Policy Manual to clarify the required triennial increase in investment, revenue, and other thresholds, and to clarify how USCIS arranges biometrics appointments for certain applicants.
The updated guidance reflects the International Entrepreneur Program: Fiscal Year 2025 Automatic Increase of Investment and Revenue Amount Requirements Final Rule published in July of this year. The final rule codifies the automatic adjustment of the investment, award, grant, and revenue amounts for applicants under the International Entrepreneur Rule.
The guidance also clarifies that USCIS generally coordinates with the U.S. Department of State when arranging biometrics appointments for conditionally approved applicants under the International Entrepreneur Rule who are outside the United States or who choose to receive their parole documentation at a U.S. embassy or consulate.
The revised investment and revenue amounts are effective Oct. 1, 2024, and apply to requests filed on or after Oct. 1, 2024.
This guidance updates Volume 3 of the Policy Manual, and is effective immediately.
