Master of science and engineering can easily get a "green card" in the United States.

China students who study for a master's degree or above in science and engineering in the United States are expected to get a "green card" in the United States. Not long ago, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill with 245 votes in favor and 139 votes against: giving foreign-born students with master's degrees or above in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in American universities a green card, and allowing spouses and children of high-tech talents who have obtained green cards in the above fields to come to the United States for reunion. The implementation of this bill will not only make it possible for China University of Technology students studying in the United States to obtain American identity, but also stimulate more China University of Technology students to choose to study in the United States.

In fact, the voice of the United States to relax the application for a green card for post-graduate work has been endless. The reason is still due to the strategic considerations of the United States. Because the current immigration law in the United States has many restrictions on foreign students staying in the United States after graduation, the presidents of 90 American universities, including Stanford University, Harvard University and Yale University, jointly sent a letter to Obama and the US Congress, calling for the establishment of a "green card through train" to ensure that top foreign graduate students can stay in the United States and create new job opportunities for the United States, thus "ensuring that the United States will continue to maintain its leading position as the home of inventions in the world".

Coincidentally. The American New Economic Alliance, founded by new york Mayor Bloomberg and composed of 450 American mayors and business leaders, also released a survey report, pointing out that 99% of the nearly 1500 patents in the United States belong to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. By 20 18, the United States will face a shortage of 230,000 high-tech jobs in these fields, calling for green cards for foreign graduate students who graduate from these majors. According to the survey report, 76% of the inventors of the 20 1 466 patents in the United States were foreign-born American university graduate students, postdocs or researchers, and 54% of them faced various visa difficulties.

The report calls on the United States not to lag behind in the world talent competition, and puts forward three suggestions to solve the problem of retaining talents: since 99% of patents belong to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, it is recommended to issue green cards to foreign students with master's degrees or above in these majors; Establish new visa types to facilitate foreign-born students who have American invention patents and are willing to start businesses in the United States, so that more American university inventions can be transformed into industries and create employment opportunities; Increase the number of H 1-B visas or cancel the restrictions. It is reported that the H 1-B visa is usually a work visa for international students, with 65,000 visas per year.

It is against this background that the US House of Representatives passed relevant bills. At present, China has become the largest source of international students in the United States. From 20 1 1 to 20 12, the number of American students studying in China is close to 200,000. What is certain is that this move will fully promote the pace of studying in China. At the same time, the direction of China students applying for American master's degree will change accordingly.

According to the available data provided by the American Graduate School Association, the number of international students studying in the United States has increased by 1 1% in 20 1 year. The largest increase in postgraduate study in the United States is from China, with a growth rate of 23%. From the professional point of view, the largest increase in master's degree is business, followed by natural science and geographical science, engineering and education. However, the major choice of international students in China is relatively single. In a survey of international students in China, 23% chose business, 17% chose engineering.

In fact, business, finance, computer, engineering and other majors have always been the most popular among China students. With the implementation of relevant laws and regulations, the major choices of China students studying in the United States are bound to be adjusted, which will attract more talents in the fields of science and technology, engineering and mathematics to study in the United States.

As we all know, American universities have strict control over the proportion of international students, and there are also some students from a single country. Therefore, in the process of applying for a master's degree in American universities, China students will inevitably have greater competition with each other. At the same time, the number of China students studying in the United States has increased sharply year by year, forming a "China student group" applying for American university master's degree in the United States. These China students have four-year undergraduate experience in American universities, which is more conducive to choosing master's programs and professional tutors in American universities. Therefore, in the future, the competition for China students to apply for science and technology, engineering, mathematics and other related majors in American universities will be more intense.
