<p>So, long story short, I live in the United States and attend high school there (and am a resident of the state), but I am not a permanent resident/citizen. We only moved into the US a few years ago, and we haven't been able to get the immigration stuff that the NM requires (the forms and such.) So, I'm probably ineligible for finalist status. Basically, the forms required take forever to get (I know of people who have been living here more than 7 years who still haven't received their forms, even after applying.) However, has anyone been in this situation (or known anyone who has) who could give me some advice, perhaps a way to still be eligible?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
