For all visa holders not having any degree from the US!
Do you think that now, when the tilt is towards a merit based point system where you will be assigned points for your education, having a degree from a college here is necessary?
Recently, USCIS made a change in rule that more H1b cases would be picked up from the advance category pool and it makes sense. This rule has already been implemented this year.
I have even seen working people already on h1b taking online masters course to make their immigration case stronger in front of the USCIS getting secured for future.
I am about to change my job and my wife (Masters from US) is asking me to take an online Ms course for the reasons mentioned above. Do you guys think its worth?

There are other advantages. Don't do it just for immigration.
A big one is Connections.
People under estimate it. But it's a big advantage if you wanna do something other than job or employment.
Second one is - alumni network goes a long way with venture capitalists etc.
But one of the top 15 in US news ranking.
