This National Science Foundation publication (available in HTML or .pdf) provides text, figures, and tables (.xls format) summarizing the 1988-96 trend of foreign students who planned to stay in the United States after graduation. The report notes that stay rates for foreign students "are not static; they are influenced by US immigration policy, the number and quality of job opportunities in the home countries of the students, and political change." The two appendices provide dozens of tables summarizing statistical profiles of doctoral students by country and year, as well as the intentions of recent graduates by region and year.
