What is the impact of the new US visa policy on students studying in the United States?

Influence on international students in the United States

Previously, in order to retain these outstanding international talents who received higher education in the United States, the United States has opened up channels for international students to apply for green cards. International students can find job opportunities after graduation. When they have a job, they can apply for an H- 1B visa. After getting a visa, they can apply for a green card.

A proposed law, the new law allows people who currently hold work visas and are in the process of applying for green cards to stay in the United States indefinitely.

However, Trump policy is more inclined to protect the rights and interests of the American people. International students studying in the United States or other workers in the United States have seized the job opportunities of native Americans to a certain extent, making it more difficult to get an H- 1B visa, but the Trump administration announced that it would not tighten the H- 1B policy. For international students, the opportunity to study abroad is basically unaffected, but it may be more difficult to work in the United States after graduation.

Earlier, the Trump administration had proposed a new plan to cancel the work permit (H-4 visa) of the spouse of H- 1B visa holder in the United States.

Not only is the visa policy tightened, but at the same time, the immigration policy is also tightened. Recently, the United States also announced its withdrawal from the United Nations global immigration agreement on the grounds of "damaging US sovereignty".

At present, these policies have increased the steps for students to apply for visas, which is slightly more difficult, but they have little impact on international students as a whole. The possibility that students want to stay in the United States and get a green card after completing their studies is much smaller in the face of the current tightening policy.
