     Sally,

     This has existed at least ten years that I know of. Some of the
     foreign countries require their students to sign a contract promising
     to return after receiving their degrees in the US. However, enforcing
     the contract has been very difficult for them.

     Also, foreign students do not have to be graduate students to work in
     the US. There are about two thousand foreign students here at OSU and
     many of them work.

You mean we didn't *have* to get married?!?! ;)
This must be a new one 'cuz it sure didn't exist a few years ago.  Then
again, maybe it's all a false rumor, of which there are plenty in the wacky
world of INS.
