itzel 336 Posted August 18, 2012 Bonel 895: One of the requirements is having a GED or HS diploma, although you are in the process of obtaining your GED, you cant apply yet. The good news is that DACA doesnt seem to have an expiration date. Wait until you obtain your GED and then you can apply. 1 Rawf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

itzel 336 Posted August 21, 2012 Bonel895: I made a mistake, one of the USCIS guidelines does allow you to apply. This is what the guideline about GED says: Who is considered to be “currently in school” under the guidelines? To be considered “currently in school” under the guidelines, you must be enrolled in: a public or private elementary school, junior high or middle school, high school, or secondary school; an education, literacy, or career training program (including vocational training) that is designed to lead to placement in postsecondary education, job training, or employment and where you are working toward such placement; or an education program assisting students either in obtaining a regular high school diploma or its recognized equivalent under state law (including a certificate of completion, certificate of attendance, or alternate award), or in passing a General Educational Development (GED) exam or other equivalent state-authorized exam. Such education, literacy, or career training programs include, but are not limited to, programs funded, in whole or in part, by federal or state grants. Programs funded by other sources may qualify if they are administered by providers of demonstrated effectiveness, such as institutions of higher education, including community colleges, and certain community-based organizations. In assessing whether such an education, literacy or career training program not funded in whole or in part by federal or state grants is of demonstrated effectiveness, USCIS will consider the duration of the program’s existence; the program’s track record in assisting students in obtaining a regular high school diploma or its recognized equivalent, in passing a GED or other state-authorized exam, or in placing students in postsecondary education, job training, or employment; and other indicators of the program’s overall quality. For individuals seeking to demonstrate that they are “currently in school” through enrollment in such a program, the burden is on the requestor to show the program’s demonstrated effectiveness.
