[quote=Anonymous]It’s not just H1B’s it is international students on a visa can stay in the US after graduating from college with an F-1 student visa. After graduating, F-1 students are eligible to apply for an Optional Practical Training (OPT) permit which allows them to stay and work in the U.S. for one year and extend it for another two years if their field of study is related to science, technology, engineering or math (STEM). There is an incentive to hire these international students because Employers save around 8 percent when they hire foreign students or graduates instead of U.S. workers because they don't have to pay FICA or Medicare taxes under the Optional Practical Training program (OPT). They also can keep salaries artificially low because they know many international students will work at a wage that is higher than they would get in their home countries but much lower than what Americans will accept.[/quote]
