Summary:

There were about 1.3 million foreign post—secondary students and scholars in the United States in 2022, and about 7,500 post-secondary U.S. schools were approved to host them. Foreign students and scholars enter the country on nonimmigrant (i.e., temporary) visas, a process that involves multiple federal agencies as well as educational institutions. Congress has expressed interest in the processes by which these individuals are permitted to travel to and remain in the United States.
