This was in response to growing international competition from China. Last year’s bill aimed to boost US semiconductor production and the development of artificial intelligence and other technology. Here, Murray refers to a US$250 billion bipartisan competition bill passed by the Senate last June, which the America COMPETES Act serves to complement.
“Neither bill includes language to expand dual intent for F-1 international students, which is a key policy for recruiting and retaining international students.” “The America COMPETES Act must be reconciled with the US Innovation and Competition Act passed by the Senate last year,” she told The PIE News. NAFSA: Association of International Educators deputy executive director of Public Policy Jill Allen Murray welcomed the news, but noted that succinct information must be provided to give clarity to international graduates. International applicants may be required to pay a US$1,000 supplemental fee to fund scholarships for low-income local students in STEM sectors. They must also show a minimum of US$250,000 in investments from US citizens or organisations or US$100,000 in government awards or grants. To qualify, an entrepreneur needs to have an ownership stake of at least 10% in the start-up, which must be less than five years old. Outside of international STEM PhD graduates, a new start-up visa category will be introduced for foreign entrepreneurs. They may be required to pay a 1,000 US dollar supplemental fee to fund scholarships for low-income local students in STEM sectors. On top of this, the bill aims to invest billions in the US tech sector, much of which could go to universities.Įligible individuals include international graduates from a US institute of higher education in a STEM field, or those with an equivalent qualification from a foreign university. The bill, originally aimed at combating US dependency on China for semiconductors, will exempt STEM PhD graduates from numerical limits on immigrant visas. The America COMPETES Act intends to boost US manufacturing and research.
#Green stem provisioning update
Here’s the latest US visa update for students looking to live and work in the country long-term: a bill recently passed by the House of Representatives will give STEM (that’s science, technology, engineering or mathematics) doctorate graduates a direct pathway to a green card.
