Under new proposals being considered by a senate panel, the number of H-1B visas will actually be doubled from the current 65,000 to 130,000 to address the continued shortage of specific skilled workers in the US. But the primary beneficiaries will not be outsourcing firms who rotate workers between the US and home countries, but foreign students who come to study in America, who will be enticed to stay back, work here, and contribute to the US economy.
Industrious foreign students who pay top dollar to graduate from US universities in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects will literally have H-1B visas - eventually leading to Green Cards - stapled to their degrees, if the proposals go through. Over 100,000 Indians students are enrolled in US universities at any given time, with thousands coming in each year. The student inflow is already said to contribute more than $3 billion annually to the US economy.

Currently this is proposed bill and not a law. All current rules are applicable. But this news is going towards positive direction for F1 visa students.
