Documents:
You must file Form I-941, Application for Entrepreneur Parole, with the
required fees (including biometric services fees), and supporting
documentary evidence in accordance with 8 C.F.R. § 212.19 and the Form
I-941 instructions. The filing fee for Form I-941 is US$1,200 and the
biometric services fee is US$85.
Filing and obtaining approval of a Form I-941 application under this rule
will not, by itself, constitute a grant of parole. If your Form I-941
application is approved, you must visit a U.S. consulate abroad to obtain
travel documentation (e.g., a boarding foil) before appearing at a U.S.
port of entry for a final parole determination. A Canadian national
traveling directly from Canada to a U.S. port of entry may present an
approved I-941 at the U.S. port of entry without first obtaining travel
documentation.
Spouses, children and employees have different requirements.
