STAPLE Act

Check out the "Stopping Trained in America Ph.D.s from Leaving the Economy" (STAPLE) Act.

To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to authorize certain aliens who have earned a Ph.D. degree from a United States institution of higher education in a field of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics to be admitted for permanent residence and to be exempted from the numerical limitations on H-1B nonimmigrants.

Here's an article on Faux News about it:

And here's HR 399 on Govtrack:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-399

Idk how to feel about it exactly. On one hand, it lowers the cap and allows people to legalize; on the other hand, it is not as beneficial to us as DREAM is and I hope the politicians don't use this as a "Down payment" for CIR.
What do you guys think of this?

Re: STAPLE Act

Would Dreamers qualify for the staple act or is it for students on legal visas?

Re: STAPLE Act

By the way this would be an option for those who have graduated but are on the border line age wise.

Re: STAPLE Act

I don't know how many PhD programs can actually fund an undocumented student.
I bet most of them can't. So unless you can pay the tuition yourself, this will not be the case (well DA covers many type of people: including those who have lost their legal status due to this shitty system...)

Yes, as long as the Dreamer has a Ph'd.

Maybe not to be a U.S Citizen but definately want to come to USA to work.
H1B is the easiest way if you can get a sponsor.
