Keep STEM Talent Act of 2023

The Keep STEM Talent Act of 2023 modifies U.S. immigration rules for foreign students pursuing advanced STEM degrees. It requires these students to apply for admission *before* starting their program and adds enhanced security checks for their visas. The bill creates a direct path to permanent residency for STEM graduates who secure jobs in their field paying above the local median wage, including their spouses and children. It also allows these students to seek permanent residency while on a student visa (dual intent), removing a prior barrier for STEM graduate students.
