What to do?
I'm trying to apply for deferred action, I meet all requirements, but I have the following question:
I entered the country with documents that are legal under the law. The documents are of a cousin that I have in Mexico who was registered at birth with two different set of parents. He was registered by his blood parents (his first birth certificate) and by another married couple (his second birth certificate) they are an uncle and aunt. The second birth certificate is a legal document in Mexico, which was never used. His parents only did this in case they weren't able to take care of their child for any given circumstances, so his uncle and aunt could claim him as their own child without having to go through adoption. So, when my parents took the decision to come to USA, I was only 10 years old, they asked my cousin's parents if I could use the second birth certificate to get a passport and a visa. They got me a visa with this birth certificate, because we were poor and the parents in the birth certificate are of very well recognized doctors in Mexico City, so they wouldn't deny me a visa at the American Embassy in Mexico and i could safely travel to USA. My cousin's parents said yes since they never used it for over 10 years. With that birth certificate, never before used, my parents got me a passport and a visa. Of course, with the help and the consent of my cousin's parents and the second set of parents he had; my name, face picture, and fingerprints are in the visa and Mexican passport under the other name, which I then used to came to USA, at the time I traveled I was 11 years old.
I have now in my possession the visa and passport that was used for me to travel from Mexico to USA.
The passport that was used for me to travel to USA has the stamp of entry to USA, but I don't have the
I-94 document, also, have my passport under my real name, given to me at birth by my real parents. I entered this country in 2002 with the other name and I NEVER USED IT AGAIN. I got my passport with my REAL name in 2009 in a Mexican consulate in USA. I'm scared that when I get fingerprinted by Immigration the Visa fingerprints will show up and I will be Denis deferred action. SINCE AFTER THEIR DECISION THERE IS NOT WAY TO APPEAL.

Please, I need help, I don't want to be accused of fraud for something I didn't do. I was sent by my parents. They just wanted me to arrive to USA safely. I never ever used those documents again, they were only used to travel into USA, that one time and never used again.
Upon my arrival to USA, I have always used my real name. USA has become my home.
I have worked really hard through middle school, high school, and college to be a well educated man. I learned the language within my first year in USA. I have always respected USA and love/admire this country as mine. It's where i have developed my education, habits, dreams, discipline style of life and friends.
Please, advise me. I don't want to be forced to leave this country. I want to keep living the American dream and one day become a citizen.
