Creates a new path for U.S.-educated advanced STEM graduates to get green cards.
This bill would make it easier for foreign students who earn advanced science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) degrees from U.S. universities to stay and work in the country. It would create a new way for them to get a green card, bypassing current limits, and allow them to seek permanent residency while on a student visa. This aims to keep highly skilled talent in the U.S. workforce.
Today, foreign students with advanced STEM degrees from U.S. universities face yearly limits on green cards and cannot usually seek permanent residency while on a student visa. This bill would create a new green card path for these graduates that is not subject to yearly limits, and would allow them to seek permanent residency while studying.
