Quick answer
What is USCIS Form I-941 used for?
Under the International Entrepreneur Rule (IER), the Department of Homeland Security may use its authority to grant a period of authorized stay, on a case-by-case basis, to alien entrepreneurs who demonstrate that their stay in the United States would provide a significant public benefit through their business venture and that they merit a favorable exercise of discretion. (This period of authorized stay is technically called “parole.”) Use this form if you are an entrepreneur and want to: Make an initial request for parole based upon significant public benefit; Make a subsequent request for parole for an additional period; or File an amended application to notify USCIS of a material change. Please see the International Entrepreneur Rule page for more detailed information and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
