Do you qualify for the DREAM Act?

The DREAM Act

Purpose:

The purpose of the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act, also called the DREAM Act, is to help those individuals who meet certain requirements, have an opportunity to enlist in the military or go to college and have a pathway to US citizenship, which they otherwise would not have without this legislation.

Do you qualify?

The following is a list of specific requirements one would need in order to qualify for the current version of the DREAM Act.

-Must have entered the United States before the age of 16 (i.e. 15 and younger)

-Must have been present in the United States for at least five (5) consecutive years prior to enactment of the bill
