America remains the most popular country for international students to pursue their dreams. Many foreigners and students completing their studies in the United States aspire to high-paying jobs in the United States, where they can earn a green card and become permanent US citizens.
US employers consider two key factors when hiring foreign workers and fixing their salaries: whether the applicant has a US or non-US degree and the years of experience they have gained.
The study says, “Those earning their degrees outside the US and then applying for PERM visa status make a higher starting salary than international students earning their degrees in the US. The three countries that buck the trend are China, Japan, and South Korea, where those earning their degrees in the US are doing better.”
Salaries of international students holding US degrees tend to be lower than those of students earning a degree from a foreign institution and applying for PERM status. What it means is that international students earning a degree outside of the US can make a higher starting salary in the US than those graduating with a US degree and seeking a US job.
The report also finds that US employers appear to require fewer years of prior work experience from international students with a US degree as compared to those who have earned a degree outside the US. For those earning their degrees in the US, employers appeared to require about 1 year less prior work experience. In some cases, employers would submit PERM applications for US-educated international students with 2 years less prior work experience than candidates holding foreign degrees.
Looking at India specifically, the comparison suggests that, on average, students who graduated from Indian institutions earn about 10% more than those who graduated from US institutions while working in comparable occupations. However, these additional earnings accompany a work experience requirement that is double that of US-educated Indian students working in the US.
