As one of the parties who negotiated this compromise agreement. I wish to make clear the bases upon which those of us who had proposed to do more accepted this bill as an interim measure. Over 30.000 of the Chinese students who are in the United States. arrived on J1 exchange visas. With this legislation. these students will not be required to return home before they can apply for another U.S. visa. Further. if these students change or adjust to other than "J" visa status within the specified duration. they will no longer be subject to the 2year foreign residency requirement. including any future application of the requirement to adjustments to permanent residence status. This bill also grants to all Chinese students the authority to seek employment. Work authorization is necessary. because scholarships and other sources of funds may be exhausted or overstrained due to the unexpected extension of their stay here.
