Bill overview
This bill, the Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act of 2025, proposes to eliminate the Optional Practical Training (OPT) Program, a program that allows international students on F-1 visas to gain work experience in the United States before or after graduation. The bill specifically states that no employment authorization can be granted through OPT without explicit authorization from Congress. This change would significantly impact the ability of international students to utilize OPT for professional development and job searching. The bill aims to shift the focus to requiring Congressional approval for any future similar programs.
