Upon invitation from the American Society for Biochemistry and Microbiology (ASBMB), Attorney Wang recently spoke at the Experimental Biology Conference held in Chicago April 22-26, 2017. Ms. Wang spoke on a panel entitled “Immigration and Visa Issues for Foreign STEM Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows," which was part of this year’s ASBMB’s Education and Professional Development sessions.
Ms. Wang’s presentation covered the employment based green card application, including self-sponsored and employer-sponsored options. A Q&A session followed after the panel presentations.
Experimental Biology (EB) is the annual meeting of six societies comprised of more than 14,000 scientists and 50 guest societies. Primary focus areas include anatomy, biochemistry and molecular biology, investigative pathology, nutrition, pharmacology, and physiology. Attendees represent scientists from academic institutions, government agencies, non-profit organizations and industry. This multidisciplinary, scientific meeting features plenary and award lectures, workshops, oral and posters presentations, on-site career services and exhibits spotlighting equipment, supplies and publications required for research labs and experimental study.
According to a study released by the Pew Research Center on June 18, 2015, international students make up more than half of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) advanced degrees earned at American colleges and universities. Though international student graduates earned only 11.6% of all doctoral degrees in the U.S., foreign students earn 57% of all engineering doctoral degrees, 53% of all computer and information sciences doctoral degrees and 50% of mathematics and statistics doctoral degrees, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
