I agree, the representative from USCIS didn't give much details and just gave a general answer , pretty much what we know already ... and personally I didn't like her response to this question :/ .... but I guess that's all the info they're gonna give us :/

No, we don't qualify for FAFSA... and I see you are from CA ... you can apply for the CA Dream Act which allows you to apply for in-state financial aid such as Cal grants, BOG fee waiver, UC and CSU grants here is more info about it -->> http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/847-ca-dream-act-ab-131/#entry3737

apparently an affidavit is not sufficient on it's own ... hope this helps got it form the uscis website http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3a4dbc4b04499310VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=3a4dbc4b04499310VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD#evidence Q1: May I file affidavits as proof that I meet the guidelines for consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals? A1: Affidavits generally will not be sufficient on their own to demonstrate that you meet the guidelines for USCIS to consider you for deferred action for childhood arrivals. However, affidavits may be used to support meeting the following guidelines only if the documentary evidence available to you is insufficient or lacking: A gap in the documentation demonstrating that you meet the five year continuous residence requirement; and A shortcoming in documentation with respect to the brief, casual and innocent departures during the five years of required continuous presence. If you submit affidavits related to the above criteria, you must submit two or more affidavits, sworn to or affirmed by people other than yourself, who have direct personal knowledge of the events and circumstances. Should USCIS determine that the affidavits are insufficient to overcome the unavailability or the lack of documentary evidence with respect to either of these guidelines, it will issue a Request for Evidence, indicating that further evidence must be submitted to demonstrate that you meet these guidelines. USCIS will not accept affidavits as proof of satisfying the following guidelines: You are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a general education development certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran from the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States; You were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012; You came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday; You were under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012; and Your criminal history, if applicable. If the only evidence you submit to demonstrate you meet any of the above guidelines is an affidavit, USCIS will issue a Request for Evidence, indicating that you have not demonstrated that you meet these guidelines and that you must do so in order to demonstrate that you meet that guideline.

Thanks for the info!! I was studying the handbook but ugh!! it's sooo long =S .... i'll just study the practice tests and the ones from the vids now

Good Luck !! and let us know how everything goes with your process

the more proof you provide the better, i believe... You can use school transcripts, certificates, immunization records, school IDs

Hello hitania and welcome !! .... i'm sure they do accept school IDs... I think that as long as you have some sort of ID with your name and picture you should be good, but don't know how strict they are in your state :/ Good luck and let us know how it goes

I LOVE doing volunteer work! helping others, community service, etc whatever i can help with I also love the outdoors; hiking and camping and I also like playing volleyball

Welcome and good luck to you too

it's hard not to cry when you have been waiting for an opportunity like this one and you finally have it!
