FlagOr am i out of luck? I was here since age 13, and dropped of high school in 12th grade. Can I enroll into adult secondary school and then apply for the deferred action?
If you do not have a high school degree or a GED, you must be in school in order to apply.
1. Obama's action is a policy and not a law. It is not an Act.
2. Obama's policy does not provide immigration status. It only prevents qualifying individuals from being deported and may provide them with a work permit.
3. There are serious risks in applying as it can be terminated as early as January 2013 if Mr. Romney is elected President.
