MAGA Group Challenges OPT Program for Foreign Students Amid Changing H-1B Perspectives

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • MAGA nativists are challenging the OPT (Optional Practical Training) program, which allows foreign students to gain work experience in the US.
  • The H-1B visa situation is evolving, as MAGA hardliners push to scrutinize OPT, claiming it misrepresents its original purpose.
  • Foreign students on an F1 visa can stay for up to three years via OPT, after which many switch to H-1B visas.
  • In 2023, approximately 344,686 foreign students were authorized to work through OPT, prompting calls from MAGA for its elimination.
  • There’s ongoing debate on the program's significance to foreign students' contributions to the US economy versus job impacts on local graduates.
