"Fernando Alquicira is taking the final step for his work permit, less than a month after he applied under the new federal program protecting some young illegal immigrants from deportation for two years if they came here as children. The 24-year-old medical student is scheduled to have his fingerprints taken today by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, meaning the agency has processed his application and is ready to put him through a background check. “I was pretty excited,” Alquicira said. “But right now I'm in the hospital working 15 hours a day, so I haven't had much time to think about it. I was pretty surprised. But on the paper, it just said it doesn't mean you're guaranteed you're going to get” a work permit." - Jason Buch, San Antonio Express-News, Sept. 13, 2012.
