Gezinha 121 Posted October 9, 2013 I have recently been diagnosed with a chronic illness and need to fill many papers in order to get help and medication Whenever there is that question on any form Legal Resident/ US Citizen...should I mark legal resident? Or does doing that imply that I have a green card? Bc since I got deferred action I am not really sure how to mark that question, and I am always afraid they will reject me for treatment. I assume I am a legal resident since I am not illegally here anymore, but I thought that this option meant GREEN CARD...does it, or can I mark ir down?

Yureelee 27 Posted October 9, 2013 Sorry to hear about your illness. I really hope that you get the help needed to help you treat your illness. And about your question.. which I think is a really good question . I had some doubts about that too , I really hope somebody in the forum helps you answer your question. 1 Gezinha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WGATAP 17 Posted October 9, 2013 You cannot mark legal resident because that means you have a green card. With Daca you only have lawful presence until your work permit expires. Depending on your illness, you might be able to get help regardless of immigration status. Talk to someone and find out what to write down. You don't want to mark down the wrong thing and then be prevented from qualifying. If you ever need help with finding programs to help, feel free to inbox me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nancy Mora 12 Posted October 10, 2013 I agree with the person on top if its an application send a letter explaining DACA or if its a person who gave you the papers talk to them. Im sure there is help regarless of your status 1 Gezinha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
