How many have their degree already?
 

So the dream act gives 6 years for people to get their education or join military. But for people who already have their degree, can they apply for green card right after it's passed? I am a little confused here.

I was wondering about this too since I already have 2 associates degrees. From what I've read, we still need to show 6 years of "good moral character" so that means we would have to be on conditional status for that long.

I could be wrong though, so correct me if you have a better understanding.

No, you still have to wait six years in order to become a permanent resident.

6 years to become permanent residents? I thought those years can count to apply for citizenship? Does someone has clear 411 on this? I'm a bit confused.

I remember we brought this issue up some years ago, I think back in 06, and somebody said we will be able to apply for permanent residence once you have completed school years of school (or Military)

I just got my associates I wonder if I get my four year and they pass a law whats going to happen do I need to go back to school.

No, you already got your associates so you'd just have to complete the 6 years of good moral character under conditional status.

I have a BS in Psychology. The only thing that keeps me up at night is the thought that the age limit will be 25 or something like that. I am 26 and I am so scared I aged out. I can behave for 6 years.

Yeah same here. I have a degree in BS Biology and I am 26.
