    Not everyone gets to stay, nor wants to stay in the US. My experience with my Chinese and Indian students:
    1- The very rich few who can stay via their family wealth (many legal channels with money)
    2- The very bright and ambitious who aspire to be like Jensen Huang, Sundar Pichai, or Satya Nadella, etc. to make it big in America. If they don't have money, they can get a company to sponsor them for H-1B visa (National Interest Waiver), and I have written quite a few letters for those. Usually only for MS or PhD
    3- The resourceful ones who want a life in America for whatever reasons: they will get married to a citizen or PR.
    4- Those of category 3 above but are not successful, and have to return to their own country
    5- Those return to their country voluntarily because of personal reasons, e. g. many are from wealthy families who must go back to handle the family business, or children of CCP officials went back to have high positions in the gov for example.

      I don’t know man, I returned to Vietnam not because of any of the reasons you stated.
      I just enjoy life in Vietnam more than abroad, being closer to my family and friends. I couldn’t imagine always being away from my parents and friends for the rest of my life.
      I guess the final nail in the coffin for me was seeing my friend’s father passed away and he missed his funeral due to work. Yeah I don’t want that happening to me ever.

    The comment section is flooded with judgements on why he is back to Vietnam, which are mainly the concern of young people. 10 years later, all you do is to live a good life wherever you are on this planet. When there is the separation between which place is a better place to live only enriches human’s hate and greed over others. Be in the “good” place until you are the only ones left.

    There were 1,057,188 international students studying in the United States in the 2022/23 academic year (with student visa). There were a total of 122,101 international students participating in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) OPT in 2023. Most students participating in STEM OPT were from India (39.1%) or China (23.7%).
    Of the 1.6 million-person increase in the population from 2022 to 2023, 1.1 million (68%) came from immigration, while 504,000 (32%) came from natural growth. The Total is 326.7 millions.

    An Truong speaking very slowly maybe because he’s processing all the information he wants to convey to the audience. Don’t get me wrong, this has nothing to do with his English ability. He is very fluent and very good in English skills as far as I can see. But his slow speed of speaking allows him to put out everything quite accurate and precisely. It’s a well-rounded good interview answer session. But of course I can clearly see him processing things and arranging things in his mind for his answers though. Some might feel his style of speaking a little bit unnatural.

    Also, he actually studied at a top public high school in Vietnam, not some fancy international school like everyone thinks.
