Why the US is losing foreign graduates

March 20, 2009

Too soon to draw conclusions

Baris Guzel, a 25-year-old candidate for a master's in engineering management at Duke University and a student of Wadhwa, says the difficulty in obtaining a visa to stay in the U.S. for several years is the main reason he plans to leave the country after he graduates in May.

Originally from Turkey and currently on a J-1 student visa, Guzel says he and four other friends are planning to start a company called AmPoll.com that offers a free online tool to create user surveys. He is considering starting the company in Germany.

"It is hard for foreigners to get a job these days [in the U.S.]," say Guzel. "In Germany, it is easy to obtain a working visa."
