Did you know? Thanks to new pathways like USCIS’s International Entrepreneur Rule (IER), you can find a way to build your venture in the U.S. This rule basically gives qualified international founders a shot at staying in the U.S. to grow their startups – a total game-changer for F-1 students with big dreams. And Ivy Entrepreneurs will guide you through opportunities like this so you don’t have to navigate it alone. 🚀 #businessmentor #businessgoals #businessstudent #entrepreneurship101
