International PhD students and postdoctoral fellows studying in the United Sates at academic institutions are required to return to their country of origin to renew their visas, interrupting the plan of study for those applicants who have been in the United States for years. This process takes weeks or months, during which time the applicants are paid by U.S. Institutions, and often funded by U.S. tax dollars wasting time, dollars and resources. To ensure that research critical to the U.S. national interests is not adversely affected, I/we strongly request that the visa process be revised so that international students can continue their research within the United States while renewing their visas.
