I-941
Application for Entrepreneur Parole
Form I-941, Application for Entrepreneur Parole, is the form an entrepreneur uses under the International Entrepreneur Rule (IER). The USCIS page says DHS may grant a period of authorized stay, technically called parole, on a case-by-case basis to entrepreneurs who show their stay would provide a significant public benefit through their business venture and that they merit a favorable exercise of discretion.
The instructions list three uses: an initial request for parole based on significant public benefit, a subsequent request for an additional period (re-parole), and an amended application to notify USCIS of a material change.
The instructions say a paroled person has not been admitted to the United States and remains an applicant for admission. For someone outside the United States, the final decision to parole is made by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at a U.S. Port of Entry.
Whether this is initial parole, re-parole or an amended application, receipt number, names, A-Number, immigration status, criminal history and proceedings questions, where to send travel documents, addresses, education, then biographic details.
Details of the spouse and dependent children requesting parole with the entrepreneur, and the names and receipt numbers of other entrepreneurs requesting parole with the same start-up entity.
Legal name, address, EIN, employees and your ownership percentage, an explanatory statement, yes or no questions on investment, grants, jobs and revenue for initial parole or re-parole, household income, a material change explanation, and every other owner.
Each qualified investor (individual or organization) with the investment amount and type, verification questions on citizenship or ownership and securities sanctions, the investor's other start-up investments, and any government entity providing a grant or award.
The applicant's contact information, certification and signature, then the interpreter's and preparer's contact details, certifications and signatures.
Extra space with the start-up entity's name and identification number, and page, part and item number columns for longer answers.
Type or print in black ink. The USCIS page says all pages come from the same form edition with the edition date and page numbers visible, or USCIS may reject the form.
Choose initial parole, re-parole or amended application. For re-parole or an amendment, enter the receipt number of the current Form I-941 approval in Item Number 2.
Write N/A where a question does not apply and None for a zero. The instructions say an Online Account Number only exists if you filed a form with a receipt number starting IOE.
Initial parole uses Items 9 to 15, re-parole Items 16 to 29, and an amended application Items 30 to 32. List every other owner of the start-up entity.
Item 9 (initial) or Item 27 (re-parole) asks for a detailed statement on your role in the entity and how your involvement will advance its growth. It can go in Part 10 or on a separate signed sheet.
A stamped or typewritten name is not accepted, and DHS rejects an unsigned Form I-941. This page lets you fill the form online free, then print it for your signature.

The USCIS page lists a P.O. Box in Dallas, TX for U.S. Postal Service mail and a Lewisville, TX address for FedEx, UPS and DHL deliveries, both marked Attn: IER. The instructions say the form is not properly filed until a USCIS Lockbox facility accepts it.
The fee is on the USCIS Fee Schedule page (Form G-1055), which can change. Check it on the day you file. The instructions say DHS rejects a Form I-941 sent without the correct filing fees.
The instructions set minimum qualified investment and government award amounts received within 18 months before filing, describe who counts as a qualified investor, and allow other reliable and compelling evidence when the entity partially meets them.
Examples in the instructions include a passport or other photo identity document, letters, press coverage, accelerator participation, degrees, patents, organizational documents, equity ledgers and capitalization tables.
The instructions say entrepreneur parole totals no more than 5 years: an initial period of up to 30 months and one re-parole period of up to 30 months.
USCIS may require an interview or biometrics. The instructions warn that an Advance Parole Document does not entitle a person to be paroled, and that DHS may revoke or terminate parole at any time.

The USCIS page says that under the International Entrepreneur Rule, DHS may grant a period of authorized stay, called parole, case by case to entrepreneurs whose stay would provide a significant public benefit through their business venture.
Part 3 lists them, but the instructions say their requests for parole are filed with Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, along with evidence of the family relationship.
The instructions say to file before the current entrepreneur parole period expires, but no earlier than 90 days before it expires.
The instructions say no more than 5 years in total: up to 30 months initially and one additional period of up to 30 months.
No. The instructions say a CBP officer makes a separate discretionary decision at the U.S. Port of Entry, and an Advance Parole Document does not entitle the holder to be paroled.
USCIS fees change, so this page does not list one. The I-941 page points to the USCIS Fee Schedule, and the instructions point to Form G-1055.
The USCIS page lists only mailing addresses for Form I-941: a P.O. Box for U.S. Postal Service mail and a street address for FedEx, UPS and DHL.
