More details to this question:
Hi. I've been in the United States, Maryland Since I was 12/13 Years old. I'm 20 years old now. I went to middle school and graduated high school here. I also went to college for about a year. My visa expired about 2 years ago. I heard that Obama passed a law that if people from another country came to the U.S when they where 13 years old they could became a citizen. I would like to know if that's true, and what should be my first step.

From your facts, you appear to be qualified for the Administration's program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). You can either seek the services of an attorney, legal services program, or if you wish to try it yourself, look at the U.S.C.I.S. website for the form I-821D Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
