USCIS Entrepreneurs in Residence

Information Summit Announcement

February 22nd, 2012

Silicon Valley, CA

8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) invites you to join us as we launch our Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIR) initiative with an Information Summit focused on ensuring that the immigration pathways for foreign entrepreneurs are clear, consistent, and better reflect today’s business realities.

Through panel discussions and breakout sessions, the Summit will give participants the opportunity to share their strategic thinking and business expertise with the agency. The feedback from the Summit will inform the work of the Entrepreneurs in Residence tactical team, which will bring business experts in-house to work alongside USCIS staff to maximize current immigration laws’ potential to attract foreign entrepreneurial talent.

The Entrepreneurs in Residence initiative provides USCIS with a unique opportunity to gain insights in areas critical to economic growth to ensure that USCIS policies and practices fully realize the immigration law’s potential to create and protect American jobs.
