Hey idiot... It's called a student visa and all of the people I know who were here on one got their green cards shortly after graduating. That's not some new genius idea... It's how the system is meant to work...
Student visas just let students be in the US and have no path to green card.
The paths to green card I'm aware of are being a family member to a citizen, being sponsored by your employer, the diversity visa and the job creation green card.
It sounds to me like he is proposing to skip the whole second paragraph?
We have a young person here on student visa and he's struggling to get a more persistent arrangement and thinks he may have to move back next year when his visa is done. He's hoping for an h1b, but that's a lottery... If there's something he's missing, it'd be good to know.
That's not how it worked for any of the people I knew on student visas. All of them had to hope for a job with a company that would support getting them an H1b/EB2/EB3 visa. Trump has been pushing to raise the limits on H1B visas since before the 2016 election, and it's one policy idea of his I (think I) agree with. One of the reasons so many foreign students stay on for grad school is because it allows them to stay on a student visa if they can't get supported by a company.
There are 5 ways to go from a student visa to a green card: marrying a US citizen, employee sponsorship (H1b/EB2/EB3), the green card lottery, political asylum, get sponsored by a relative who owns a US company. There is also a 6th way that doesn't require a student visa, the EB1, but that requires being a recognized leader in your field.
My friends getting their PhDs had a really hard time getting theirs and almost had to leave the country.
