US examines high fees for graduate work
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is studying the imposition of a $100,000 fee on international students aspiring to work in the United States after graduating from American universities through the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. If approved, this fee would reduce opportunities for international students to remain and work in the U.S., and is part of efforts to tighten legal immigration. Currently, the program includes around 419,000 foreigners working after graduation in 2024, with a focus on targeting major companies in information technology and finance, which often employ international university graduates. Officials are discussing how to implement the fee, but it remains unclear whether students or employers will bear the cost, as a new regulation to oversee the program is awaited in the upcoming fall.
