Congress proposes bill to exempt some foreign graduates of US universities from quota

Earlier this week, Represenative Zoe Lofgren (D. California), introduced a bill in Congress that would exempt foreign graduates of US universities from the EB quota, provided that they had advanced degrees in the so called "STEM" subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. If this bill passed it would greatly alleviate the backlog in the EB - employment based categories and also would allow the US to remain competitive in the 21st Century.
