The American Immigration Lawyers Association is collecting the stories of young people who would qualify for relief if the DREAM Act were to be enacted into law. Telling the stories of DREAM Act students will help build support for this bi-partisan bill.

The DREAM Act is a bill that would facilitate access to college for immigrant students in the U.S and provide a path to permanent residence for ambitious immigrant youth who were brought to the U.S. as young children and who want to pursue higher education or military service. You may be eligible for the DREAM Act if:

* They came to the United States as a child (15 or under;
* They are a long-term U.S. resident (five years or more); and
