Unlike most of you i dont have a Plan B
I am turning 17 in February 14 and my parents brought me here at the age of 2 on EWI.. My dads mom is a citizen and my parents are illegal. My two younger sisters are 11 and 9(they are US Citizens)
I live in Georgia and from here on its going to be harder because georgia is turning into a 2nd Arizona

Do you guys have any suggestions?What would you do if you were in my situation?

Step by step Plan

1) I suggest that you move out of Georgia at the FIRST OPPORTUNITY available.
Some states offer instate tuition if you have been living there for more than 3 years and have graduated from one of their high schools. But that doesn't seem to apply to you, so you will not qualify for in-state tuition anywhere you go.

If you have relative out of state, try and contact them.

2) If you get a scholarship, then you can go to a good university.
Or you might consider a community college or some of the small colleges which offers low tuition rates.

3) It will take 4-5 years to get your Bachelor's Degree. If CIR or DA doesn't pass by then, you can decide to leave or stay in the US.

Moving out of GA would be a struggle because my mom has made her own Cleaning business that took her a while to set up (its a private one) and my dad works in roofing so if we were to move it would be hard seting all of that up again.

I do have relatives in Florida, and some here in Georgia

I am talking about you moving by yourself after you graduate from HS.

But I don't think the AZ style bill has passed yet, has it? If not, then don't worry about it.

You are EWI?

Leave before you turn 18.5. Don't go through the decade I just went through. You can't legalize here if you are EWI.

Live at your relatives' house as a tenant.

But let me tell you, finding a job that fulfills all your needs is one of the most difficult obstacles you will face. Even harder than finishing college.

Either way, I wouldn't be too sure that the AZ style bill will pass.
