I'm not an expert on US work authorization, so take this with a grain of salt. Changes have been proposed to the Visa program in 2020: https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2020/01/new-h1b-procedures-take-effect-in-2020 https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2020/01/new-h..., https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/us/politics/trump-h1b-work-visas.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/us/politics/trump-h1b-wor.... Most are about the H-1B Visa (and wouldn't be specific to graduating students from outside the US), but the process of going from F-1 to H-1B may also be affected. https://www.internationalstudent.com/study_usa/graduation/visa-options/ https://www.internationalstudent.com/study_usa/graduation/vi... (and that whole site) has more on Visa options for graduating students. Hope this helps.
