I am also a "legal-dreamy." But I also suffer with those who don't have the same opportunity as I have--like friends and family, and even my boy-friend. I support the Dream Act, fully, and I hope something positive will happen for us, "immigrants". They call us aliens, they call us illegals, and they call us law-breakers, but what they don't know is that we have hearts, we are humans and most importantly, we are dreamers!...
As for your situation, do you only have a student visa? Or a green-card?
I was able to get FAFSA, which is financial aid, but i am a U.S. Citizen, luckly.
However, I heard that Obama is going to modify the requirements again, do you know if that's true?
