Opt will also be banned in America! Know what it is will affect Indian students

Recently, a new bill was introduced in the US – HR 2315. The most important argument is that American students must first find work, not foreign students. Although this proposal is still in the beginning phase, it can have an impact, especially on Indian students. Thousands of Indian students go to America for higher education every year. His greatest hope is that after completing his studies, we will gain experience by working there for a few years and earning well. But if Opt is prohibited, they may need to return to India or any other country once studies are completed. What is opt? Opt is a special program that runs US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Below, foreign students in America can work after completing their studies. The period of normal opt is up to 1 year. Students of Voice Stream may work three years. Indian students, especially engineering, IT and management, utilize this program. This is why Indian students will be most affected when Opt is over. Bill The purpose of the Bill – The purpose of the HR 2315 Bill is to keep jobs safe for American youth. Some US organizations and leaders believe that foreign students are jerking the part of American citizens by working by taking. They argue that Opt reduces the salary of American students and businesses, keeping foreign students on a cheap package. Therefore, pressure is made to eliminate Opt. Will the Opt be really banned? It is important to note that only the bill is set, that it is not approved. Any bill in America must undergo a long process to make laws. In addition, it is not so easy to completely eliminate Opt because: Millions of foreign students are studying in America. Universities are largely dependent on their fees. Large technical companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon offer work to foreign students. When the opt is over, they will have trouble getting qualified talent. Both American education system and economy will be damaged when the number of foreign students decreases. Why would the impact on Indian students be higher? Each year, millions of students from India go to America for studies. The first choice of this is that after completing studies work by Opt. If Opt is prohibited, Indian students will have far fewer opportunities to find work in America. They may need to return to India as soon as they have completed their studies. This could reduce the number of students going from India to America. What is SPT and what does it relate to? SPT (considerable presence test) is a rule associated with taxes. It decides how many days a foreign person has stayed in the US and will be considered a taxpayer there. SPT does not apply to students with F-1 and J-1 Visa for the first five years. But this rule is for tax goals only, it has nothing to do with the opt program. If the opt of Opt persists, it will be the benefits of both students and America: Foreign students will be able to work 1-3 years after studying. US businesses will easily get effective talent. The tendency of Indian students will remain to America. Universities will continue to get fees and funding from foreign students. If the loss of ban on Opt is prohibited, its great losses will be revealed: Students may need to return to India once their studies are completed. US technical companies may not have talent. Students from other countries, including India, will show less interest in going to America. Universities will reduce the income from foreign students’ fees.
