Why do many international students prefer to stay in the United States rather than return home?

Why did you come to America? Will you stay in the future?

This is a choice that every international student must make. However, the choice is forced. H 1b and visa have turned a strength problem into a fate problem.

After Trump took office, it became more and more difficult to get H 1b, which made countless people cry. At the beginning of the new year, Trump began to implement new anti-immigration measures: people who have held H 1b for more than 6 years are not allowed to continue working, even if their green card application has entered the agenda. This move may even affect legal skilled immigrants.

Staying is just an obsession.

"Where is your daughter, in America!"

When we are not sure whether staying is better than going back to China, many people know that we must stay. Maybe it sounds better.

In the eyes of some people in China, new york, Queens, Brooklyn and Bronx are all world-famous places that can make the whole family proud. "The United States has good conditions and high welfare. I will take over my parents' class in the future! "

Of course, most of these strong supports come from your aunts and grandmothers, relatives from all walks of life, and new international students can't clearly know what they want. So staying became an obsession.

A friend of mine, who has been affiliated for 2 years and studied for 3 degrees, told me from three years of H 1B lottery experience that she is very capable, except for a little luck. And insist, just because I want to stay. I asked her why, and she said air, food, equal interpersonal skills, no overtime, and a stable life. "But are these worth your time?" "I think staying in the United States is a success in itself." I can't help being speechless.

For another example, as a company providing H 1b, Daily often interviews some overqualified international students, and one of them impressed me deeply. TOP2 undergraduate in China, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, with a decent face value. I got the full-time financial offer by my own efforts, but the company didn't give it to H1B. She can only interview the editor of the daily newspaper.

"It's a waste of time for you to come here!"

"I just want to stay."

The salary is high, but it is clear at a glance.

Many China students stay in American companies because of their high salaries, but they don't know how many years they will have to work in American companies before they can get green cards.

China people who do programming in the United States will have a bottleneck after three years: we have been coding, while our American colleagues around us are appreciating and jumping ship.

Dare not jump ship, for the green card. I can only tell my employer with a sincere heart that I will obey. For this loyalty, he should buy a green card.

More and more people choose to return to China:

For example, Kenneth, after obtaining a bachelor's degree in finance and a master's degree in MIS from Auburn Montgomery University in the United States, joined the entrepreneurial army in the United States and "sold cabbage with the heart of selling white fennel". Two years later, Ken spent 26 hours, rented a house, sold a car, packed seven years' luggage into two suitcases, cooked with Laoganma and resolutely returned to China. There is only one reason: "Where there is a bigger world and where it can be vigorous, I will go there."

Another example is Helen, an IM master from Florida State University. This girl who is crazy about hot pot chose to go back to work in order to keep up with the rapid development of the domestic industry Internet. After all, many of the latest and most grounded ideas and games can only be realized in China. Helen is currently in charge of commercial operation in Sina Weibo.

There are thousands of reasons for returning to China.

But it all boils down to one sentence:

Dream, be sure to do it beautifully!

Dreams without ceilings!

About whether to return to China. At the end of 20 17, the daily newspaper spent a week doing a survey. Although there are only more than 300 students, it is found that the number of international students who have a positive attitude towards returning to China has increased by 22% compared with last year, which indirectly illustrates the changes in the employment situation in China and the United States.

Below we have selected several typical answers.

My parents can't speak English. Even if they stay in the United States, who will take care of them can't be thrown into a nursing home. Obviously, my parents want me to go back, but they still say, "I don't have enough money for my mother to call you" and "My parents will support you no matter what decision you make". I can't let go of my parents, so I plan to return to China as soon as I graduate.

The answer about family, love and food accounts for 35%, and the remaining 65% can be answered in eight words: the development of the world is in China. Because they have seen the world, overseas students believe in their own independent judgment: if you have a restless soul, if you want to keep up with this rapidly advancing era of science and technology at the age when you should struggle most, if you want to have new challenges and new progress every day, if you have planned your rise for ten years, then you should return to China. Because only the development speed of China can keep up with your pursuit of dreams.

The development of the world is in China!

Although many developed countries are advanced, their infrastructure, equipment and people's lifestyle have not made much progress for decades. On the other hand, in China, from no cash payment, to * * * enjoying a bike, to enjoying a boyfriend, to the fast high-speed rail, and then to taking a mobile phone when going out, the situation is changing with each passing day.

We are the people who really stand at the forefront of the wave and the times, the people who are closest to the next outlet, and the people who have upgraded their lifestyles (from ordinary chopping to fancy chopping) in scientific and technological revolutions again and again.

In the next decade, the development of the world will be in China,

The development of China depends on us.

At our feet are the footprints of the sages,

Behind us is an epic of 5,000 years.

What is in front of us is an overwhelming progress.

Live up to your talent,

Never waste your dreams,

Don't regret your dreams, sing for China!
