????簽證過(guò)程很輕易就會(huì)讓雇主放棄為外國(guó)留學(xué)生提供工作機(jī)會(huì)的打算。魯伊斯說(shuō)：“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(guò)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(lái)招聘的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，許多學(xué)生都是外國(guó)留學(xué)生，他們不得不去完成一場(chǎng)全國(guó)性的競(jìng)賽，獲得簽證。目前的移民制度，尤其是對(duì)希望留在美國(guó)工作的外國(guó)留學(xué)生而言，實(shí)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(jì)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(guó)留學(xué)生在美國(guó)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(jì)，同一年新簽發(fā)的76,627個(gè)H-1B工作簽證中，僅有26,502個(gè)簽發(fā)給了外國(guó)留學(xué)生。那些未能獲得H-1B簽證的外國(guó)留學(xué)生命運(yùn)如何，我們不得而知。魯伊斯說(shuō)：“美國(guó)的移民制度沒(méi)有退出機(jī)制。要進(jìn)入美國(guó)必須蓋章生效，但我們不知道是否有人離開(kāi)，我們也不知道他們離開(kāi)的真實(shí)原因。”

????所以，印第安納大學(xué)希望幫助外國(guó)留學(xué)生降低在美國(guó)求職的難度，這一點(diǎn)并不令人意外。魯伊斯說(shuō)：“印第安納大學(xué)現(xiàn)在有機(jī)會(huì)填補(bǔ)有關(guān)簽證信息不對(duì)稱(chēng)的空白。”學(xué)生和雇主要獲得簽證必須克服許多障礙。不過(guò)，印第安納大學(xué)的學(xué)生們至少不必再擔(dān)心信息錯(cuò)誤的問(wèn)題。（財(cái)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.
