Still, you can get a driver license with student visa. This is also great for dreamer who are EWI and want to get marry.

Pursuing is not good enough.

You can apply for student visa while in school regardless of major. That makes you legal and can apply for other legal status after graduation.

Only the advanced STEM degree holders may apply for the green card program.

You just need to be in college with any major for the student visa. Reading the text, I think even the community college is good enough.

It is sort of like Dream Act, but you get a student visa instead of a provisional green card.

Thanks for the info. Would we need to return to our home country to renew our student visa?

A student visa remains valid as long as you are in school. It is the re-entry right that expires. So as long as you stay in school and don't plan to travel out of the US, you are OK.

And it was possible to obtain F-1 visa while staying in the US, so why not?

I'm just hoping that the GOP doesn't end up removing the part pertaining to undocumented students.
