John Cornyn introduces STAR ACT, which eliminates diversity lottery

No loss for most of dreamers who don't come from DV-qualified countries, right?

Dreamers could benefit from this especially if the country was not listed in recent years in the DV.

Assuming if John Cornyn's bill includes a waiver for illegal students. I somehow doubt that.

And notice that the bill qualifies STEM graduates only from "research" universities which tend to be competitive to get in.

Could we qualify for this? what are the details. I will be getting my masters from a research uni. Hopefully this could some how give us a waiver.

Doubt it though.

They better have a provision for people like us.

I would love for it to pass, but it probably won't....just like how ARMS act just faded away....

has anyone read the text? Would this bill allow those of us who are currently undocumented apply for GC if all other requirements are met? I already have a masters from a top research school in one of the STEM fields. This could be my way out if they allowed dreamers to apply.

Here is what i found.

We need to get legalized by Rubio's Dream Act first. Then STAR will be our pathway to citizenship.

I'm not sure how much it can help your status since most of the time you can't adjust status if you're already in the country illegally..
