    Get a masters degree from US University and you could be sitting on an immigration goldmine. According to reports, a new US senate proposal would allow limitless H-1B Visas and green cards for foreigners with masters degrees or higher in any field from an American university or anyone with such credentials in the science, technology, engineering or math fields from abroad. This week is immigration reform week in the US congress, as it battles issues like border fencing and temporary worker visas.

    Senators Joseph Lieberman and Chuck Hagel, also proposes raising the existing annual cap on the controversial H-1B visas from 65,000 to 115,000 for fiscal year 2007.

    That member could climb by 20% in each subsequent year to as high as 1,80,000 if the previous year’s quota is exhausted. Right now, there’s also a 20,000 visa cap beyond the existing H-1B quota for foreigners who have advanced degrees in the US.

    What do you have to say to this above mentioned visa – policy issue?

    Why would anyone want to immigrate to the United States? :p

    I'd be aiming at Canada.
