re: H-1B Visa Bill Introduced In US, Minimum Pay More Than Doubled

quote:

Builds a bridge from F-1 student status to Lawful Permanent Residence by:
Providing for “dual intent” for students, as well as O-1 (Extraordinary Ability), P (Athletes, Artists, and Entertainers) and free trade visa holders, so they are not denied visas solely on the basis that they might intend to immigrate to the United States;
Permitting experience gained on the job with the employer to count for the purposes of labor certification;
Providing employment and travel authorization to those with approved employment-based petitions awaiting visa availability, so they have similar protections to those provided portability under the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act.

I really like this section of the bill as it keeps students who are educated in the US to remain and work easier.
