A new bill, the Keep STEM Graduates in America Act (HR 9023), introduced by Indian-American Congressman Shri Thanedar, could increase H-1B visas for Indian graduates. Aimed at retaining STEM graduates in the US, the bill proposes expanding the number of H-1B visas and simplifying the application process. The H-1B visa allows US employers to hire foreign workers with specialized skills. This legislation could benefit hundreds of thousands of Indians and millions of international students by providing more opportunities to stay and work in the US. Indian tech professionals are expected to gain significantly from this move.
