The GENIUS Act (Growth and Opportunities for Overseas Students Act) is a U.S. legislative proposal aimed at retaining top international talent. It seeks to provide a clear path to permanent residency for foreign graduates in STEM fields from American universities. By allowing these skilled individuals to stay and work in the U.S., the bill aims to boost innovation, strengthen the economy, and address tech workforce shortages. Supporters argue that losing such talent to other countries harms U.S. competitiveness. The GENIUS Act represents a strategic effort to turn education into long-term economic strength by welcoming the brightest minds from around the world.
