The America Competes Act of 2022.
The bill provides a direct path to permanent residence for immigrants who earn a Ph.D. in a specified field of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). This provision could benefit several thousand non-resident immigrant Ph.D. graduates who complete their doctorates each year at accredited U.S. research universities.

The provision would affect the Employment-Based First (EB-1) and Second (EB-2) visa categories, each of which has an annual cap of about 40,000. However, the bill would not increase the total number of visas available in these categories, nor would it exclude visas granted to spouses and children from being counted against the cap.
