Trump administration officials continue to spend their time dreaming up new ways to control international student enrollment in U.S. institutions. One proposal establishes specific visa period limits. This article closes with the caveat that the proposed new rules may never be implemented but the point is what message are prospective international students taking away from repeated scrutiny and persistence in clamping down on international students?
On the other hand, Trump officials will propose new rules for the lottery for the 85,000 H-1B visas that will give priority to international students who have received advanced degrees from U.S. institutions. Officials indicate that this could increase the likelihood of these internationals receiving the H-1B visa by as much as 15%. A White House meeting convened on March 8, 2019, "focused on international students and their ability to stay and work in the U.S. after graduation - their interest in doing so, the barriers they face and how they could be encouraged to stay." The fact that such a meeting was initiated shows promise and participants reported a positive and constructive atmosphere.
