During his 2012 State of the Union address, President Obama said it “doesn't make sense” that “we send foreign graduates home to invent new products and create new jobs somewhere else.”
The establishment of “intent” as required by 214b is challenging at best and is erratic in application. Adjudication of status should focus solely on
compliance with the f-1 visa rules, objectively.
It is one of the most absurd rules in US immigration laws, requiring a person to prove that he would return after completion of studies but once he enters US , Govt allows f-1 student to work on OPT and then convert to h1b and green card.
It is against the natural laws of equality and grave injustice to those denied F-1 on 214b as getting a F-1 visa depends on sheer luck and mood of visa officer.
