There is a bill in house by republican.

It's one thing to have a bill and another thing to pass it to make it a law.
There are numerous other immigration bills that would be beneficial to us but with the current situation of the country, they won't be passed anytime soon. With thousands of unemployed masters, this will have tough time passing, even if it is narrowed to science and tech workers.

Hope for it but don't count on it.

I am more hopeful on this bill. First, it was submitted by Republican and second, Diversity Visa will be eliminated by this bill.

Good idea to get rid of DV... doesn't help US in any way shape or form.. they will be better off letting master and PhD students live here with a GC.

in the second link it says the bill to be effective starting oct 2011???
looks like something is cooking

 There's very slim chance this bill will be passed. The only hope is that Republicans are in the house right now, so it may Pass..Let's wait and see.
BTW, when's the voting happening for this bill, any idea  ? The bill says, if passed will take effect on October 1, 2011. When's the voting date ?

This bill has to pass for the well being of every international student studying in USA.
i think we should advertise this bill so that everyone knows about it 

Lots of bills do not make through the house of committee re. Lets see if it makes through. Once in 2007, it passed through house but rejected by senate re. In 2009, it could not make to voting re. But this time, the state of the union speech could have some impact on this.
