A friend is U.S. citizen, he's son came to the United States on March 2008 (came to USA when he's 21, now 23) cause the father signed an affidavit support form (form I-864) along with his brother (son's Uncle) as a sponsor since the father is making below $25,000 a year. Since the arrival of his son upto this day he hasn't asked for any sort of public charge from the government but now as he's getting ready to go to a community college, can he apply for a financial aid? According to "USCIS - Public Charge" http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=829b0a5659083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=829b0a5659083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD , "Non-cash benefits (other than institutionalization for long-term care) are generally not taken into account for purposes of a public charge determination. Special-purpose cash assistance is also generally not taken into account for purposes of public charge determination." Which includes "Educational assistance (such as attending public school), including benefits under the Head Start Act and aid for elementary, secondary, or higher education" as one of the many lists that is not considered as public charge purposes. My question is, Is he (friend's son) eligible for financial aid (Grants) even thought he hasn't asked for public assitance from the government for nearly 2 years?Almost forgot he's a green card holder too.

Because I have been present more than half of the time.. Please help..

I had all my stuff stolen (e.g. passport, naturalization certification, etc...) In order to get a replacement passport, they need a naturalization certificate, which of course, was stolen as well. So I went to the INS website and they say that ( http://www.uscis.gov/n-565 ), the fee to get me a copy of the naturalization certificate is $380. This is hugely expensive for me. Add to it that I'll have to pay $100 for a passport and $60 for a stolen passport fee, it's going to be over $500. It's like I got robbed once and now I am getting robbed again. Is there a way to somehow get a copy of the naturalization certificate for cheaper? Perhaps by going to the INS office (if one exists)?
How can get I get a replacement for a stolen naturalization certificate?
My boyfriend came over here at the age of 3 with a visa but now being 20 it expired a long time ago. We love each other dearly and want to live together but he wants to be able to support me, but can't get a good job without some sort of status. I would LOVE to marry him if i could legally, and without the risk of him getting deported. After we get married i can file to get him a green card correct? I looked a little up on this site http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=9c8aa6c515083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=9c8aa6c515083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD but i just want to know if we can get married first. If you can post links to websites with proof that would be amazing thank you for your help :)

The I-130. I am filing this for my husband to change his status. It is understood in the beginning of this form that I am his wife. Part C- D I need to list myself here? It says to list all husband/wife and children of immigrant but I have already stated that I am his wife previously. Will it matter? Numbers 19 and 20 ask for his address abroad. He is living in the US right now. Would they still need his old address filled in here? Please help if you understand! Here is a link to the form itself. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-130.pdf

My family and I will be applying for green card next year. I checked on USCIS.gov and it said it would cost $930 for an individual application. I was wondering if there's a special price for families. My mom and I were granted political asylum under my father's case. By the way I'm 19 years old. Thanks for answering. :)
