USA POST STUDY WORK

The United States of America nowadays mainly has two different VISAs for its international student group.

The first is called the F-1 (Optional Practical Training, OPT), which is mainly used by most international students who have opted for US foreign studies.

The second visa applies to specialized sectors, namely H-1 B Visa and the one who had all the changes when President Trump came into force.

Other visas include the J-1 Visa option for exchange students and visitors and an O-1 visa for an extraordinarily gifted person with national and international recognition of their expertise.

In addition to the very popular American green card is also there, but getting one is as big as a lottery, nowadays. I'm not joking.

All the details of the above visas are as follows:

CRITERIA FOR WORK IN US

• The F-1 visa needs to meet the following eligibility criteria:
• Students must document sufficient funds for maintenance in the United States during their stay.
• Students must offer strong ties to their home country through either bank accounts, family, property or job supply.
• The student must remain full-time in the program from which they received an F-1 visa.
• H-1B Visa:
• We need a US employer who can sponsor Visa.
• A US bachelor or equivalent
• Correlation between work and the applicant's education
• Approval of the Labor Code of Labor Ministry of Labor.
• KESTO in the USA
• The F-1 Visa Form allows students to stay for 12 months in the US to provide their knowledge as a practical application. STEM graduates will be granted an additional 17-month extension, enabling a 29-month stay in the USA.
• H-1 B Visa is initially granted for three years and the extension can be extended by three years. However, you can not add H-1 B Visa for more than 6 years and if you need to continue working in the United States then you can also get a US Green Card
• O-1 and J-1 visas are both fixed-term visas and, as such, allow applicants for these visas to postpone and delay a fixed short stay.

CONDITIONS IN US

• Family members and spouse can follow a J-1 visa for L-1 or H-1 B or O-1 visas, during which they can work, but the student can not use their income to support him/her.
• Do not leave the country when H-1 B Visa is pending
• Your H-1 B visa is granted for your work being directed to training, otherwise, you will not be able to get it.
• The upper limit is 85 000 H-1 B visas, which can be issued in any particular year.
• The OPT applying for the F-1 visa must complete within 60 days of the completion of its examination.
• H-1 B Visa's previous minimum salary was ~ 60,000 USD and recent developments tend to increase it by more than twice the current level.

DURATION 

The US labor market can best be called "hostile" to foreign students. Although there is no language proficiency, and competition is fairly even between citizens and internationals, but the international employment prospects are not as good as they were from 4-5 years ago.

Political turmoil after President Trump has started America's first culture for all employers, which is why the competition is somewhat biased.

However, the STEM field profession suffers from some kind of deficiency and thus MS in the United States who have acquired good skills during their program and have hustled enough network, have more or less found quite decent jobs in and around Silicon Valley area. Other freelance trades, such as management schools, have been able to put more or less good positions on graduates and therefore the situation is good.

CONCLUSION
If you want to live an "American Dream" and take your eyes to the best American universities and you are ready to take a rather challenging job of getting a lot of valuable H-1 Bs and pretty hard green card permits and also buy compromises for an increasingly competitive job market, safety and enjoyment life together with one of the world's most advanced and start applying for American universities now.
