With the start of the next academic year on the horizon, international students from the Global South with dreams of studying in the U.S. are facing delays in visa interview appointments, lengthy processing times, and a high visa denial rate.

Join NAFSA and other members of the U.S. for Success Coalition in urging your members of Congress to intervene. Ask your elected officials to press the State Department for improvements to visa processing and protocols to make it possible for talented international students from around the globe to arrive on time for the start of the fall semester.

Join NAFSA in urging the White House to move ahead with crafting and implementing a national strategy for international education. A holistic approach to increasing international student enrollment and retention and boosting and diversifying U.S. students\u2019 study abroad participation will be of vital importance to U.S. foreign policy, diplomacy, innovation, national security, economic growth, and global competitiveness.\u00a0

International experiences like study abroad help students succeed in their careers and collectively contribute to a more innovative, secure, and prosperous United States. Yet only 10 percent of U.S. college students study abroad before they graduate.

The bipartisan Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Program Act of 2023 will expand access to the critical skills that study abroad experiences provide.\u00a0

Please join NAFSA in urging your representative to become a bill cosponsor. If one or more of your elected officials is already on the bill, you will be able to send a note of appreciation. If you are represented by one of the bill's original bill sponsors, Representatives Brad Schneider (D-IL), or Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), please be sure to express your appreciation for their leadership.

Study abroad enables U.S. students to develop critical skills needed to compete in today\u2019s global economy, including foreign language fluency, problem-solving, a tolerance for ambiguity, and cross-cultural competence. Yet only 10 percent of U.S. college students study abroad before they graduate.

The Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Program Act would change that.

Please join NAFSA in urging your lawmakers to cosponsor the bill.

Attracting the best and the brightest students from around the world contributes immeasurably to U.S. preeminence in academic research and scientific innovation. However, trends indicate our country is losing this valuable resource as other countries implement more welcoming policies.

Please customize it as appropriate, including inserting the economic contributions of international students to your state and/or congressional district, which can be found at www.nafsa.org/econvalue.

Attracting the best and the brightest students from around the world contributes immeasurably to U.S. preeminence in academic research and scientific innovation.

Other countries are working hard to attract international talent. A potential path to employment and an option to remain in the country permanently after graduation would be a powerful incentive for international students to choose the U.S.

Specifically, I am asking you to support updating immigration law by expanding dual intent to F-1 students and creating a direct path to a green card for international graduates of U.S. colleges and universities.\n\nInternational students, scholars, and their families bring significant academic, cultural, and economic benefits to the U.S. They enrich the perspectives of U.S. students, drive innovation in our workplaces, and contribute to their local communities. NAFSA\u2019s economic analysis of the 2021-2022 academic year showed international students contributed $33.8 billion and supported 335,423 jobs in the U.S. economy. This dollar amount is up more than $5.5 billion (or 19%) compared to the prior academic year, however, this increase should be contrasted with the decline of $10.3 billion in the previous academic year. \n\nThe pandemic, coupled with numerous federal policy changes have damaged our country\u2019s reputation as the premier destination for international students and scholars. Meanwhile, competitor countries like Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom have updated their laws to attract the best and brightest and are seeing unprecedented enrollment growth as a result. To restore U.S. leadership, policies and laws must be changed.\n\nFor these reasons, I am urging your support for:\ni. expanding dual intent to F-1 students. Current immigration law requires applicants for F-1 student visas to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the reviewing U.S. consular officer that they intend to return home after their course of study\u2014i.e., that they do not intend to immigrate to the United States. Yet educated students are exactly the kinds of immigrants we should encourage to stay in the United States. We should not force F-1 students, before they even start their studies, to say that they have no intention of staying and contributing to the United States after they graduate.\nii. creating a path to a green card for international advanced degree graduates (master\u2019s level and higher) in all fields. There is broad, bipartisan support for creating a clear path to green card status for certain international students graduating from U.S. colleges and universities. \n\nI encourage you to view the issue brief [https://www.nafsa.org/issue-brief-attract-and-retain-international-student-talent] prepared by NAFSA: Association of International Educators for more detail.

A\nsign-on letter led by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) supporting an increase in appropriations funding for international education and exchange programs at the U.S. State Department is now circulating in the U.S. Senate. Urge your senators to support it, and if they already have, you'll be able to send them a thank you message.

An op-ed in the Washington Post by former Defense Secretary argues that peer-to-peer exchange and international students in U.S. higher education are essential components of a national security strategy. Share the piece with your lawmakers as we make the case that the U.S. needs a national strategy for international education.

A recent article in the Washington Post\u00a0makes clear that the U.S. can ill afford to lose global talent to other countries, especially those educated at U.S. colleges and universities. Urge your elected officials to read the piece and review new infographics created by NAFSA that show how valuable international student talent is to U.S. research and innovation and the gains that competitor countries are making in recruiting and retaining them after graduation.
