U.S. to Expedite Visa Processing for Graduates with Job Offers
The United States has announced a significant update for prospective graduate students aiming to study and work in the country. In a bid to retain skilled workers and boost the economy, the U.S. will now fast-track visa processing for graduates with job offers. This is a promising development for international students who face the often lengthy and complex process of securing work visas.
Currently, the H-1B visa, a work visa, permits individuals to work in the U.S. for three years through employer sponsorship, with potential extensions of up to three years. The new policy aims to streamline this process, making it easier and quicker for graduates to obtain their visas, allowing them to start their careers sooner.
Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security has expanded the list of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects that qualify for a two-year extension under the Optional Practical Training (OPT) work program. Notably, Environmental/Natural Resource Economics has been added to the list, offering more opportunities for international students in these fields.
For those considering studying in the U.S., this policy change represents a valuable opportunity to fulfill their academic and professional aspirations. Check out our U.S. institutions on GUS Gateway, where you can find a variety of STEM programs to help you achieve your goals.
