If I was bought into America illegally when I was only 3 months old, can I apply for citizenship?
Question Details: I really want to go to college but can't because I have no SSN obviously because I am a illegal immigrant. I will soon be applying for the deferred action which will allow me to work.
Unfortunately other than DA, there is no way for you to get SS number or a work authorization at this time. Since you entered without inspection, no adjustment is possible under current law. Please feel free to write to me directly at meltser@bmlaw.com
You may qualify for DACA, but not citizenship. There are specfic requirements for DACA. Please see the following links for information from our website.
