????簽證過程很輕易就會讓雇主放棄為外國留學(xué)生提供工作機會的打算。魯伊斯說：“私人雇主希望從印第安納大學(xué)和普渡大學(xué)（Purdue）等高等院校物色接受過STEM（科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程、數(shù)學(xué)）領(lǐng)域教育的學(xué)生。但前來招聘的時候，他們會發(fā)現(xiàn)，許多學(xué)生都是外國留學(xué)生，他們不得不去完成一場全國性的競賽，獲得簽證。目前的移民制度，尤其是對希望留在美國工作的外國留學(xué)生而言，實際上產(chǎn)生了太多不確定性。而這種不確定性并不利于經(jīng)濟發(fā)展。”

????布魯金斯研究所發(fā)現(xiàn)，2010年，共有342,968名持有F-1簽證的外國留學(xué)生在美國攻讀學(xué)士、碩士或博士學(xué)位。據(jù)布魯金斯研究所統(tǒng)計，同一年新簽發(fā)的76,627個H-1B工作簽證中，僅有26,502個簽發(fā)給了外國留學(xué)生。那些未能獲得H-1B簽證的外國留學(xué)生命運如何，我們不得而知。魯伊斯說：“美國的移民制度沒有退出機制。要進入美國必須蓋章生效，但我們不知道是否有人離開，我們也不知道他們離開的真實原因。”

????所以，印第安納大學(xué)希望幫助外國留學(xué)生降低在美國求職的難度，這一點并不令人意外。魯伊斯說：“印第安納大學(xué)現(xiàn)在有機會填補有關(guān)簽證信息不對稱的空白。”學(xué)生和雇主要獲得簽證必須克服許多障礙。不過，印第安納大學(xué)的學(xué)生們至少不必再擔(dān)心信息錯誤的問題。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????The visa process can easily deter employers from extending a job offer to international students. "Private employers look to universities like Indiana and Purdue to train students in STEM fields, but then they go to recruit and realize that many of those students are foreign and will have to compete in a national competition for a visa," Ruiz says. "What the current immigration system does, especially for foreign students who really want to stay and work, is create a lot of uncertainty. And for the economy to grow, uncertainty is bad."

????The Brookings Institution found that in 2010, there were 342,968 incoming foreign students who accessed the F-1 visa to pursue bachelors, masters, or doctoral degrees. In that same year, just 26,502 of the 76,627 new H-1B work visas went to U.S. foreign students, according to Brookings. What happens to foreign students who don't secure H-1B visas is unclear. "In the U.S., we don't have an exit system for immigration," Ruiz says. "You get stamped to come in, but we don't know if someone left, and if someone leaves, we don't know why."

????It's not surprising, then, that IU wants to make it as easy as possible for foreign students to find work in the U.S. "IU will now have the opportunity to fill the void of asymmetric information about the visas," Ruiz says. There are a lot of hurdles for students and employers to clear in order to obtain a visa. For Indiana University students, at least misinformation won't be one of them.
