USCIS publishes STEM resources

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published updated web resources on temporary and permanent pathways to the U.S. for foreign nationals in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.

• Options for Noncitizen STEM Professionals to Work in the United States.
• Nonimmigrant Pathways for STEM Employment in the United States.
• Immigrant Pathways for STEM Employment in the United States.

Additional Information: The Biden administration has said attracting STEM workers is a priority and announced measures aimed at attracting STEM talent in January. In announcing the new resources last week, USCIS said the U.S.’s ability to attract global talent in STEM fields has “spurred path-breaking innovation, leading to the creation of jobs, new industries, and new opportunities for all Americans.” BAL will continue following the administration’s efforts to attract workers in STEM fields and will provide updates as information becomes available.
