Will he live up to his green card promise?"},"content":{"rendered":"

If Donald Trump wins the 2024 election, it could create difficulties for high-skilled immigrants, especially those on H-1B visas. During his first term, Trump\u2019s policies made it harder for foreign workers to get or keep jobs in the U.S. H-1B visa denials and Requests for Evidence (RFEs) increased under his administration, causing uncertainty for workers. Between 2016 and 2020, about 18% of H-1B visa applications were denied, a big jump from the 3.2% denial rate under President Biden. The number of RFEs also grew, rising from 12% to a peak of 34%.<\/p>\n

If Trump returns to office, the process for obtaining H-1B visas may become even stricter, making it harder for immigrants, particularly international students and highly skilled workers, to find or keep jobs in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Impact on H-1B Spouses and OPT Programs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The spouses of H-1B workers, who hold H-4 visas, may face new challenges as well. During Trump\u2019s first term, there was an attempt to end a rule that allowed H-4 visa holders to work in the U.S. Although this rule wasn\u2019t removed, it could be targeted again. Any new changes could make it harder for spouses of H-1B workers to get work permits, potentially leading to long delays or denials.<\/p>\n

International students on F-1 visas who use the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program might also face changes. OPT allows students to work for up to 12 months after graduation, with an additional 24-month extension for STEM graduates. However, Trump\u2019s administration previously attempted to reduce or eliminate this program, especially the STEM extension. If he is re-elected, there could be new restrictions on OPT, making the U.S. less attractive for international students looking to stay and work after graduation.<\/p>\n

Trump’s Green Card Promise and Wage Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Trump has promised to provide automatic green cards to all U.S. college graduates if he is elected. He believes that anyone who graduates from a U.S. college, including community colleges, should be able to stay in the country. This proposal could help foreign students, but it\u2019s unclear whether it will pass or be implemented.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Trump\u2019s administration proposed a rule that would raise the minimum wage for H-1B visa holders, requiring employers to pay higher salaries, sometimes over $200,000. This rule was blocked by a judge, but Trump could try to bring it back, which could make it harder for foreign workers to find jobs in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Overall, Trump’s second term could bring stricter immigration policies for high-skilled workers, which may create challenges for foreign workers and students hoping to stay and work in the U.S.<\/p>\n
