Work in the United States after studying in the United States

? I believe that many international students who go to the United States have plans to work in the United States after graduation, but if they can't get a work visa, they can't stay in the United States. In addition to applying for an opt extension for STEM majors, there are other ways to stay in the United States after graduation.

1, apply for investment immigration green card

Like EB 1, investing in EB5 is also a way to get a green card, with a low capital requirement of 500,000 US dollars. However, since it is an investment, we must know fairly well and plan for profit and loss.

2. apply for O- 1 visa.

Similar to EB 1, the applicant for O- 1 visa must have outstanding talents in the fields of science, art, education, business or sports, and the O- 1 visa needs the support of the employer.

3. Find a job directly in a non-profit organization.

Some non-profit organizations, universities and affiliated scientific research institutions in the United States can apply for work visas for employees. Moreover, there are no quota restrictions on the work visas of these institutions. However, the salary of this kind of job is lower. If you want to switch to industry in the future, you still have to find a job before mid-March, and take part in the H-1 B lottery that started in April. The work can only start in June 65438+1 October1. Of course, non-profit organizations and scientific research institutions are also eligible to apply for a green card for you. If you plan to stay for a few more years, you can change jobs after getting a green card.

4. Start EB 1 green card application as soon as possible.

If you have a doctor's degree and published a thesis (even if the quality of the thesis is average), you should start applying for EB 1B green card as soon as possible with the help of the company, and the pass rate of this type of green card is over 90%. You can apply for EB 1 and expect to get a green card in a few months.

If the company has overseas branches, it can apply for assignment.

Worked in other countries for at least one year before leaving the United States and returned to the United States through L- 1B visa. L- 1B visa has no quota limit, but you can't change jobs. Work in the United States can continue to participate in the H- 1B lottery, and you can jump ship after winning the prize.
