So, FIU is the only school in the entire state to allow students with deferred action to pay in state tuition.

Good day, I am Ignacio and this is my story. I came to the US from Santiago, Chile in 07/1995, when I was 8 years old. My family and I came here legally but stayed Illegaly. The immigration topic was something that was avoided by my parents allways and that's probably the main reason why I was illegal even 10 years after we got here. It wasn't really a hot topic until I graduated from High School as I faced a very unpleasant and uncertain future. 4 years after I graduated I met my ex wife and we decided to get married so that we can go on with the plans we had with eachother, since there is no way someone, that arrived at age of 8 years, was going to have the life of a typical illegal immigrant. We got married and I applied for AOS through her. Things didn't go well and we broke up a year ago, before my AOS was approved and she withdrew the I130, which automatically withdrew everything else, without me knowing about it (we didn't break up in bad terms but she still decided to screw me over). I didn't find out until I tried to renew my EAD that expired in august that she did that and I literally went crazy, since on August 3rd, I was fired from my job for not having an EAD. I did all my research for the DACA Application and decided to send the application. Sent on 9/12/12, after about a month of finding evidence of residing in the US since June of 2007. My application was in total about 70 pages and is the best application I could send, I am very proud of it and hope everything goes well. I want to give everyone here my best wishes, on whatever application you are sending. And if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you for taking the time to read what I wrote Ignacio Ningún Ser Humano Es Ilegal
