I like the concept but I can see a few potential problems with the idea.

Firstly this would give universities the power to print green cards. That's a power they probably shouldn't have.

Secondly I really don't think there is a shortage of scientists or mathematicians so STEM is probably a suboptimal group to apply this policy. I personally know a person with a masters in geophysics who drives for lyft. Ask a recent biology major about their job prospects, etc.

I work for this such type of consulting shop abroad (first world), supposedly best in the country and earn same as average Uber driver.

I think the model is not limited to the US. There are plenty of people willing to have abroad experience, but it does demotivate you to certain degree.

I can imagine market geophysics specialists is extremely tiny.
