Bloomberg: US wanted to simplify entry for specialists from Russia

The administration of US President Joe Biden may lift some visa restrictions for Russians with a master’s or doctoral degree in technology, engineering, or mathematics who have studied in the US or abroad. It is reported by Bloomberg, citing sources.

According to them, the White House sent a request to Congress to remove the rule that Russian specialists must work in the United States in order to obtain a work visa. The US wants to attract Russians with experience in semiconductors, space technology, cybersecurity, advanced computing and manufacturing, nuclear engineering, artificial intelligence and rocket propulsion technology, and other high-tech fields.

Thus, Washington is trying to at least weaken the high-tech resources of Russian President Vladimir Putin and at the maximum to undermine the country’s innovation base, said a representative of the US National Security Council. In addition, facilitating the move for specialists from Russia will help strengthen the US economy and security, he said.
