About 40,000 graduate degrees were awarded to foreign STEM students in 2009, with 10,000 of those going to Ph.D. recipients. In FY2010, almost 91,000 H-1B workers were employed in computer-related occupations, taking up 47% of all H-1B beneficiaries.
The study also reports that in total, foreign nationals reporting STEM occupations made up 44% of all of the 676,642 LPRs who were employment-based principal immigrants during the decade of FY2000- FY2009 and of all of the LPRs reporting STEM occupations (297,668) over this decade, 52% entered as professional and skilled workers.
STEM graduates seeking LPR status are likely to wait in line to obtain LPR status. Please read this in-depth report and analysis of STEM foreigners in the U.S., including their backgrounds.
