hello all, first time posting here on this forum so people be patient with me. I was wondering if i was still eligible for the dream act. Heres my story...I came to the states in 1996 with my family with a B2. i was 7 at the time. a year into my b2, we changed our visa status to E2. After 1998, i was officially overstaying my welcome in the US (i had no idea). I went to elementary school, middle school and graduated High school and even graduated college. After i graduated college, i decided i should go back to korea and visit my family and try and become a legal citizen...little did i know this is almost impossible. i was naive. In june, i flew to Korea and stayed there for about 3 weeks and came back to the states on a Visa Waiver Program on July. During my stay in Korea, the Dream act was announced...just my luck right? So my question is, am i still eligible to apply for the dream act knowing my circumstances? I left the US and came back with a visa waiver... any input would be greatly appreciated.!
