It’s a grim job market for college graduates, and even more so for international students.
For years, many students from abroad were able to find jobs after graduation, build careers and families in the United States, and, in many cases, obtain permanent residency and even U.S. citizenship.
That path has been narrowing at every juncture. The administration has remade the H-1B visa program. And it has signaled changes to other employment programs like Optional Practical Training, which allows graduates of U.S. universities to work in the country for up to one year, or three years if they are in science, technology or mathematics (STEM) fields.
The New York Times wants to understand how international students are navigating all this change. We may want to use your experience in a story, but we would do so only after talking with you and getting your permission.
