As stated in the final line of the new proposal for immigration reform, it appears that the DREAM act will be in effect?
"In addition, the stand-alone registration programs provided by the DREAM Act and the AGJOBS legislation will also be included within this proposal."
I am 17 at the moment, and if I'd happen to get my 2 year community college degree within 2 years of now, would that count toward the act if passed within 2 years, I.E. gaining permanent status as soon as I finish the degree, or would I have to wait the 6 years after applying before gaining permanent status. I have lived in the United States for over 10 years without leaving the country, have achieved good marks in school, school is however the only way to prove that I have lived in the US, what other proof would I need?
I don't ever want to have to work under the table or through falsified documents, I truly consider myself an American, it is what I know.
Also what would this act do toward getting a driver's license, in Nevada.
If using the act what fees or fines would I be required to pay, would I have to pay the $3500 required for the electronic social security cards, would I have to be a full time student or a part time student?
Yes it would count, but you cannot rely on DREAM act magically being passed in time for your high school graduation. Many on this forum thought it would be pass just in time for them to start their lives, and they have waited six years so far.
Make two sets of plans: one for staying in the c0untry, and one for not staying in the country. Since you don't ever want to work under the table, you need two sets of plans.
