Compete America

Compete America is a coalition representing corporations, universities, research institutions and trade associations that advocate for reform of United States immigration policy for highly educated foreign-born professionals.

Compete America supports the idea that scientists, researchers, and engineers will continue to be in demand and drive economic growth and job creation. Because of this, they argue that arbitrarily low visa quotas and massive backlogs in the system plague the employment- based visa process.

Compete America's legislative goals are:

• The end of arbitrary obstacles to employment and permanent residency for foreign-born master’s and Ph.D. graduates from U.S. universities
• A streamlined green card process
• A market-based H-1B visa cap
