Das ist doch auch nur die halbe Wahrheit. Wer einen Abschluss in einem der STEM fields hat, hat in der Regeln gute Aussichten auf ein Arbeitsvisum, denn da sind besondere Visa faellig.

Gute Aussichten? Bei diesen Zahlen?

A limited number of H-1B visas are available each year. Under the regular H-1B cap, 65,000 of these visas are currently available. An additional 20,000 are available under an exemption for foreign nationals (usually F-1 students) who have graduated from a U.S. college or university with a master's degree or higher.

17-Month Extension of F-1 OPT for F-1 Students with STEM Degree
|
Zitat:
|
Post-completion Optional Practical Training (F-1 OPT) allows an F-1 foreign student to work full-time off campus for up to one year after completing his studies for "training directly related to the student's major area of study." To work pursuant to F-1 OPT, the student must apply for and receive approval from USCIS. The student must have an Employment Authorization Card (EAC) in hand to commence employment. Allowable under the rules is a 17-month extension of F-1 OPT for students with a science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) degree.

Cap-Gap Relief for F-1 Students with Pending H-1B Petitions
|
Zitat:
Last year, USCIS implemented cap-gap F-1 status and work authorization relief for F-1 students with H-1B petitions selected in the lottery. This rule provided specific relief to those F-1 students whose F-1 OPT work authorization would expire after April 1 but prior to the October 1 effective date of the H-1B that had been selected in the lottery and ultimately approved by USCIS.
USCIS outlined the following time periods for cap-gap work authorization and status:
- If the H-1B petition naming the student was properly filed, the student who was in an authorized period of F-1 OPT, had their OPT extended until June 2, 2008 (the date that was announced last year by USCIS as the likely date for the end of the receipting period). The F-1 status was then extended to August 2, 2008.
- If the H-1B petition was selected for receipting, the OPT was then extended until September 30.
- A student whose H-1B was withdrawn or denied will have his or her OPT extension terminated 10 days after the date of the withdrawal or denial.
The rules are clear that an F-1 student must be in a proper period of OPT to benefit from the cap-gap work authorization extension. Although the information from USCIS provides for 2008 dates, this rule will apply to this year's April 1 H-1B filings and similar time periods for extended work authorization and F-1 status will also be applicable.

H-1B Cap-Subject Petitions Must Reach USCIS on April 1- The Law Firm of Faegre & Benson LLP
Es ist also ein Eiertanz, ob man nach Beendigung des Studiums überhaupt eines der wenigen Arbeitsvisen ergattern kann. Das Arbeitsvisum unterliegt dann zeitlichen Beschränkungen.
Dagegen darf man sich dann die Kosten ansehen, die die Grad-Studenten aufzubringen haben.
Nein, das kann man drehen und wenden wie man will, unter diesen Voraussetzungen kann ich jeden verstehen, der sich eine Uni in einem anderen Lande aussucht. Das Niveau in anderen Ländern ist gestiegen und kann durchaus mit dem in den USA mithalten, bei weitaus geringeren Kosten für die Studierenden.
