I sugest you get your citizenship. It’ll ease your concerns and it’s the right thing to do.

You’ve been here this long and haven’t become a citizen yet? Well unless you become one, you’re not going to be able to do much of anything. I suggest doing that first.

Yeah you have to go for naturalization.
I don’t think you’ll get citizenship that easy..it might cost you $$$ due to your illegal status since you might not have a green card and other such documents.

Good luck. Don’t give up. Pray.

Contact your local agency, if your not from a big city contact the bigger city that is near you. I am from Ohio and did an internship at the International Institue of Akron, they deal with imigrants, foriegn-born and refugees, if you can find somewhere like that, they will tell you what you need to do, help you get citizenship, and more. Have you gotten into any trouble? Are your parents still here? How old are you? Good Luck!

Hey i hope this can be of help…You are definitely not alone. It is not your fault that you are in this predicament.

Like a lot of other people you need to look at this as a challenge. If you want to educate yourself then you can do this on your own. All you need to know is to read.
If there is something specific you want to study then go to public libraries or the internet and read all about it.
If there is a specific company you want to work for then offer yourself as an apprentice to get your foot on the door.
You might have to work and do things illegally until you can solve your problem,
but there is always a way.
You do not have a terminal decease and things can get better.
If you just want to go to college because everyone else does then that is not good enough. College is not all its supposed to be. For most people its a real waste of time and they are there pretty much just to party.
hard work is what sets us appart. Dont have children early, they will just make your life more difficult- unless you need to be inspired and you want to struggle harder.
The hardest part is the mental part…are we american? are we mexican? what the Heck are we? do we fit? what are supposed to do?
We all go thru this. This is normal. Just do what you can and do it as best you can.
YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING BY ASKING!
Carefully look at the answers you are getting- the solution is there somewhere.
Dont dwell on the people who are against you- we all have someone that doesn’t approve of us.
Good luck.
