H-1b, STEM Visas Increases Boosted Asian Immigration Rate


"The H-1B visa is the visa that affords its holder the ability to have "dual intent;" that is, the holder of the H-1B can intend to reside in the U.S. permanently by applying for lawful permanent residence, despite the otherwise temporary nature of the visa.
