No, you must graduate from high school. If you are referring to the Differed Action you must currently be enrolled in school, graduated from high school, obtained a General Education Development certificate (GED), or are honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the U.S

Freshman = Grade 9 First Year year of High School Most of their Ages 14-15 some are even 16

If you were already in the U.S before turning 16,you've passed one of the requirement

second, if you we're in the U.S for at least 5 years and you can prove it with medical rec,school rec,and or bills,then thats another good thing if you have all those,your more likely to be approve by deffered policy and with dream act too.

best bet double check yourself here (link below)

I have a friend that just graduated from high school. He says he was in the states since he was a baby. He got accepted to play football for a community college in order to further his education. He's undocumented which means that he won't be able to apply for financial aid and other grants that's available. Which way would be best for him? Dream Act or Deferred Policy? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone!

well this is my case and im not so sure of what to do, i came to this country at the age of 15, i came with some legal relatives, i have a B1-B2 visa and i didn't have to show it, since i came with them the people from the border probably thought i was legal as well, so i wanted to start going to school, but since parents or legal guardian were not with me i couldnt start, so then i just stayed hanging around doing small jobs like cutting grass at the neighbors houses and stuff like that, then in 2006 i was about to turn 17 and so then i decided to go back to my country and get my paperwork from school and bring my parents, at this time i showed my visa at the border and they put the stamp with the date and all of that, started school in August 2006, and graduated in 2009, and now for the meanwhile i have been taking online classes with DCF Deparment of Children and Families, i have a NCDA National Child Development Associate....what do you guys think?

what should i do?

Hi John 89.

You mention you left the country in 2006 to get the paperwork for schooling. If you came back the same year, then you should have approximately 6 years in the country.

I dont see you having any problem with applying for the Deferred Act as long as you have your documentation proving youve been residing here. Having paperwork from when you obtained your NCDA, should be sufficient to show the dates youve been here.

This is my personal opinion, and I dont think you should encounter any problems applying, however every case is different. I dont know if you have misdemeanors or anything else, but if you do, then I'd suggest hiring an attorney once the Deffered Act appication is released.

I wish you the best of luck and welcome to the Dream Act Forum.
