Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the lead Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has asked the Biden administration why employer data was omitted from a recent annual report on our nation’s student visa programs.

Foreign students are permitted to enter the US with student visas to pursue full-time academic studies for a limited period of time.

Post-graduate students may be permitted to extend their student visas 12-24 months if they are temporarily employed in the United States in a job or career that is ostensibly “directly related” to their “major area of study".

Grassley has long raised concerns about fraud and abuse within this extended student visa program. In March 2018, he flagged "visa mills" and fraudulent companies that provide fake employment offers to foreign students so they can meet employment requirements, extend their visas, and remain in this country after graduation.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
