Keep STEM Talent Act of 2025

This bill would let certain people from other countries who earn advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) from U.S. colleges get immigrant visas without being limited by the usual yearly caps on how many visas are given out. To qualify, they must have earned at least a master's degree in a STEM field at a U.S. school, have a job or job offer related to their degree that pays above the median wage, and meet certain work certification requirements. The bill also allows students applying for F-1 student visas to pursue advanced STEM degrees even if they plan to eventually seek permanent residency, which normally could be a reason to deny them a student visa. Additionally, it requires that anyone applying for an F-1 visa for an advanced STEM degree from inside the United States go through the same background checks and credential verification as someone applying from outside the country.
