In an effort focused on further attracting and retaining skilled workers to benefit the economy the United States has put forward a new initiative which eases the process for U.S. college graduates with job offers to obtain employment-based non-immigrant visas.
The Department of State clarified guidance to consular officers to recommend waivers for certain applicants, streamlining the process and expediting the issuance of work visas. Under this new scheme, applicants who qualify will receive nonimmigrant visas more quickly. The initiative also includes Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, intending to retain foreign talent in the US.
