Summary
The Keep Innovators in America Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to codify the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. It lets eligible foreign students stay in student status while working in jobs tied to their degree, even after they finish coursework, if they have a pending or approved petition. This aims to keep skilled graduates in the U.S. workforce.
