If you go to the United States to study for an MBA now, is there a high chance that you will stay?

Times Xinghua Study Abroad Answer: If you want to stay in the United States to work, you have to talk about the H1B work visa issue!

The key points of the reform of the work visa system include:

1. Cancel the current H1-B lottery system and only provide priority to H1-B visas for students who have graduated from American universities;

2. Companies requiring more than 50 employees and half of their employees holding H1-B and L-1 visas are not allowed to apply for a new H1-B;

3. Increase employment Salary standards for foreign employees;

4. The policy of extending the OPT (optional practical training) period from 12 months to 36 months.

The United States issues 65,000 H-1B visas to technical personnel every year, and an additional 20,000 are issued to foreign students who have graduated from the United States. In the past few years, because the number of foreign applicants far exceeded the quota, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service could only decide on the issuance of H-1B visas by lottery. Applicants with a master's degree or above tend to have a higher success rate than those with a bachelor's degree. Even so, competition for H-1B visas has become increasingly fierce as the number of applicants increases year by year. If there are major adjustments to this visa system, it will inevitably affect the interests of a large number of foreign applicants.

So if you can create great value for the company and the company is willing to apply for an H1B work visa for you, your chances of staying are very high!
