Hi Ashish: Two things, Legal: TARP bill blocks H1-B guys and makes it difficult for students graduating with MS degree from US univ. The extent of hiring difficulty is directly proportional to economy, the law comes later. Tactical: Start with MS and then stretch it by 2-3 yrs. Schol may stop, but then campus/off-campus combo + internship can help him float. Many profs will have research project funding. Even if he comes back, he is never the same guy. International exposure is valuable ! i'm quite sure many would be following a similar approach :) thanks Saifi.
