International Students under the Biden Administration
President Biden’s opinion regarding business immigration
Current President Joe Biden, unlike former President Donald Trump, supports immigration and states that the US finds its international competitiveness and economic growth in strengthening the local workforce with the help of foreign workers and in multicultural integration.
For President Biden, immigration is absolutely essential for the growth of local companies and to keep the economy afloat in times of crisis. Adding to that, Biden and his team declare that the US is an immigrant nation and that the country’s values
The current president of the US has shared his opinion about multiple immigration processes, from visa programs available to foreign workers, whether they are highly skilled workers, inexperienced workers or agricultural workers, to humanitarian programs for vulnerable populations such as asylum seekers or refugees.
Regarding business immigration, the Biden administration has stated on several occasions that local companies need to attract talent from abroad and hire highly skilled workers to expand their services and boost the local economy.
One of the main tools for local companies is employment options for international students, who come to the US to complete their higher education and then apply for an employment permit to gain work experience in the country. Several recognized colleges, universities, and local companies state that foreign students bring talent, innovation, and inspiration, which is essential for America’s international competitiveness.

The US could open its doors to international students again
The Donald Trump administration tried to substantially reduce student immigration, especially after the arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic to the North American territory. Former President Trump stated that international students often take away job opportunities from local students and take advantage of programs such as OPT (Optional Practical Training) to reside in the US after completing their studies.
However, President Biden takes a diametrically opposite position and it is possible that his administration will expand alternatives available for international students and remove Trump’s restrictions over the next four years.
According to a recent report by Financial Express, it seems that 2021 is bringing normalcy again after the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, which spread massively around the world and affected society as we know it, including cultural exchange and international education.
Therefore, the report concludes that the future looks quite bright and promising for foreign students who want to come to the US to complete their higher education through programs such as MBA (Master of Business Administration) or other areas such as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields.
