The Biden administration announced a new policy to streamline the work visa process for USA educated foreign nationals, including DACA recipients, who have job offers in their field of study. The initiative aims to retain highly educated individuals in the USA, enhancing economic competitiveness and innovation.
Key Points to Consider from the Policy
- Easier Visa Process: The policy will make the employment visa application process faster and more predictable for graduates from USA colleges and universities, including DACA recipients.
- Eligibility Requirements: While the basic requirements for work visas like the H-1B remain unchanged, the policy could prioritize work visa applications from USA graduates, especially DACA recipients and Dreamers.
- Waivers for Unlawful Presence: The administration aims to expedite and provide more certainty in the waiver process for those with prior unlawful presence, making it easier for them to obtain work visa in USA.
- National Interest: The policy emphasizes retaining foreign-educated individuals for their skills, benefiting both the USA workforce and employers facing talent shortages.
- High-Skilled Jobs Definition: The government may expand the definition of “high-skilled jobs” beyond STEM fields to attract a broader range of skilled workers.
Impact of New Work Visa USA Policy on DACA Recipients
Work Visas and Green Cards: DACA recipients can currently work legally with temporary permits tied to their DACA status. Obtaining work visas like the H-1B, which allow for dual intent (working while aiming for permanent residency), could open pathways to green cards through employer sponsorship.
Why this New USA Work Visa Policy Matters?
This policy provides a clearer and more supportive route for highly educated foreign nationals, including DACA recipients, to remain and work in the USA, addressing potential barriers like unlawful presence and enhancing opportunities for permanent residency.
