A detailed introduction to the immigration policy of American international students

In 20 15, Obama reformed the immigration bill, which is closely related to international students in China, because the new Senate bill simplifies the steps of legal immigration for international students, and gives American green cards to STEM students upon graduation. Specifically, H 1B increases the number of places, and STEM master and doctoral graduates can directly apply for green cards, set up new immigrant visa types for entrepreneurs, and cancel the scheduling of occupations and relatives; Through background checks, the residence conditions will be relaxed, and illegal immigrants who have lived in the United States for more than five years, as well as illegal immigrant parents of American citizens, will be allowed to pay taxes in the United States through background checks in order to legally stay in the United States temporarily; Expanding jobs can promote the American economy: expanding the jobs of high-tech immigrants waiting for green cards can develop the American economy. Once the New Deal is implemented, it will bring great convenience to the Chinese community.

The STEM Employment Act aims to establish a visa program to facilitate overseas students with degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to stay and work in the United States. Although the bill is not perfect, the new provisions can help family immigrants reunite faster. Children and spouses of legal residents can enter the United States with temporary visas as long as they wait for a green card at their original place of residence for more than one year.

Ph.D. and master's degree graduates majoring in STEM will also be excluded from the annual professional immigration quota of 140000.

Does this rule mean that American STEM majors will get diplomas when they graduate? Free? Green card, while in China, 37% of international students studying in the United States are studying for a STEM degree.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In the comparison of national strength, the number of people with STEM degrees has become an important indicator. The American government STEM program is a program to encourage students to major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and continuously increase investment in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education to cultivate students' scientific and technological literacy.
