Forget 5G, 6G is Just Around the Corner

If you’re interested in investing, this should be sounding alarm bells in your head -- especially since 6G's expected arrival date is around 2030… less than six years from now! And as investors, we know that means we should probably be thinking about it NOW.

While a lot of investors are eyeing some of the more obvious names — including Samsung, Verizon, and Apple, The Motley Fool believes the smart money is doing something different…

• Homing in on smaller stocks that are out of the public eye… and that serve the 6G industry in a unique way that few -- if any -- can replicate.

The experts at Motley Fool Stock Advisor have shown enormous success in identifying up-and-coming tech trends... and then finding the right stocks to take advantage. And they’re new report, “3 Stocks for the Coming 6G Revolution” is free to you just for trying out Stock Advisor, with its "keep everything” membership fee-back guarantee.

Changes to F-1 Visa Regulations

New F-1 visa rules have imposed stricter limits on how long international students can remain outside the US while maintaining their visa status. Key points include:

• Students must not spend more than five consecutive months outside the country during their academic programs

• This change could significantly impact study abroad plans, internships, and academic breaks

• Universities with global education programs will need to adjust their curricula to accommodate these new restrictions

Debate Over Optional Practical Training (OPT) Program

The OPT program, which allows international students to work in the US temporarily after graduation, has come under scrutiny:

• US Tech Workers, an advocacy group, has called for the end of the OPT program, arguing it takes jobs away from American graduates

• Critics claim universities are “selling work permits instead of education”

• Supporters, including figures like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy, argue the program is necessary to address engineer shortages in the US

Impact on Indian Students

The potential changes to OPT could significantly affect Indian students:

• Nearly 97,556 Indian students are currently enrolled in the OPT program

• OPT has been a crucial pathway for Indian students to gain US work experience and potentially secure H-1B visas

• Any restrictions or elimination of the program could reduce opportunities for Indian students in the US job market

Legal Challenges

The OPT program has faced legal challenges:

• In 2023, the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers (WashTech) took legal action against the program

• While the US Supreme Court declined to review the case, allowing the program to continue, the debate remains ongoing
