At present, due to the OPT policy, for non-STEM students, the legal time to stay in the United States after graduation is only 12 months. Therefore, most students who want to stay and work in the United States should start preparing as soon as possible. Similarly, although the OPT of STEM students is extended to 36 months, most students need to implement their work as soon as possible and prepare for the H 1B visa. The only way to find a job is to find the school's career service, revise your resume and mock interview, attend the school's job fair, and find seniors and industry veterans.
However, judging from the current situation, if the administrative order is really implemented, then international students are likely to face the shortening of OPT time, especially STEM students. The Department of Homeland Security will begin to investigate the working environment of international students, and the number of H- 1B visas will greatly reduce or increase the difficulty of visa application. This is undoubtedly a blow to international students who want to work in the United States. For a master's or doctor's degree who has already studied in the United States, foreign students who already hold a bachelor's degree can apply for an H- 1B visa. You can start looking for a job first, and getting a work visa status is the first consideration for students.
For students who are going to study in the United States, they can consider the STEM major more when choosing a major. The demand in this field is growing in American society, and it is easier to find a job than other majors. And these high-tech talents are very popular in any country. Even if the immigration policy is tightened again, the United States will not shut out talents with high gold content.
Trump's immigration policy has many adjustments. The latest one is to suspend the visa-free delivery service. Those who need to renew their US visas, including China students, scholars and professional visas, must do so in person. However, the suspension of visa exemption will not affect any law students studying in the United States. This move is only to strengthen the supervision of all those who enter the United States to study, live or travel.
Due to the amazing development speed of China, more and more foreign companies will be stationed in China, and more and more state-owned enterprises and private enterprises will need international talents with English ability. Therefore, many returned students will concentrate on employment in first-and second-tier cities. Compared with domestic graduate students, the competitive advantage of American graduate students is: 1. Most science and engineering students in the United States only need one and a half to two years to get a master's degree, while domestic graduate students need two to three years. 2. Many state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises need students with sufficient English communication and writing skills. Most graduate students in China will no longer be exposed to English after completing CET-4 and CET-6, let alone the application of spoken English. Therefore, no matter from the perspective of self-shaping and future employment, as far as Tiandao overseas teachers are concerned, the employment prospects of international students in China are still good.
