Would I get an ID?

Hey let's say the dean act does pass, can I get a drivers lincense before the mandatory six year waiting period for residency? Also could I travel outside the united states as soon as the dream act is enforced for us?

To my understanding, if you qualify you would get "conditional permanent resident status" and yes you will have a SSN, be able to work legally, go to school and travel out of the US as long as it is not for a period of six months. You cannot go immediately to the Department of Public Safety and apply for one as soon as the law is enacted, you need to apply for conditional permanent residency first of course.

shhiiiiiit.......... the first summer break that comes after my legal-safe-to-leave-and-return-status is approved. . . "hasta la vista baby" . . . cheap cerveza and mujeres lindas here I come!

^ it's ironic that we want our papers to actually leave, i can't wait to go to my homeland all my Friends just came back from there and had so much fun i can only hope to go soon.

shoot me too as well i will go and visit all the cousins and stuff party and crap yeah

jamaica, jamaica

yes I am too wanna go back and be able to visit my family, see friends.

Same for me, once I would finish my education take a few months off and go back to see relatives, friends that have not seen for a very long time.

Ditto, same here.

I just hope everyone here knows there are travel restrictions in place with the Dream act.I'd be careful traveling on conditional residency for any extended period of time outside the country.It can be seen as abandoning one's residency.I believe a Dream applicant cannot be out of the country for no more than a maximum of 1 year during the entire 6 year conditional residency period.
It is also interesting to note that those who have gained Conditional residency,SSN & arrived sometime before a certain time in 1996 should also know what other Federal programs they may apply for should the Dream act pass & residency is granted.
