downpayment in works - Page 2

For Dream Act : Probably $10K to pay instate tuition at your local community college.

For "Green Cards for US STEM graduate degree holders" : I think I paid $40K of my own money to finish US college and graduate school. I was paying essentially "in-state" because I was getting a merits based full-ride scholarship for instate tuition students(But since I was out of state, so I had to pay the difference). But you have to spend 6 years of your life studying the hardest subjects days and nights, while your US citizen friends are partying all night.

I think they were asking with regards to DA...fines, paperwork for proof, etc...

Yup, I think it'll be very strict too. I remember that back in 2007 Sen. Hutchison (R-TX) planned to amend the Dream Act to give Dreamers international student visa instead of conditional green card.

PLEASE PASS SOMETHING, in about 5 years i can be petitioned for if all goes well.

Would "DA" also work for the Marine reserve or is it just for active duty?

the title got me excited then I saw second post..nothing new

I still have hopes the DA will pass this year.

PASS IT NOW!!

another agjob article.

How come GOP has the least opposition to that Stem bill ? I mean aren't these the guys that hate anything undocumented.

No, STEMers are legal immigrants who languish in H-1B/EB-2/3 waiting game for years along with high school dropouts from Mexico sponsored by US relatives.

GOP doesn't oppose no-quota green card processing for STEMers since STEMers are the best educated immigrants in fields considered to be of a strategic importance by the US congress.

Other countries would accelerate green card processing for STEMers, but not the US. The US Congress sees a flaw in this situation and is trying to remedy this.

So its ok to give an automatic green card to some Mexican kid that dropped out of high school hmm
