Hello everyone. Our fiance visa petition was just approved and we were wondering if green card holders are eligible for federal financial aid for school like pell grants and loans. Or does the government consider that as being a public charge going against the affidavit of support I'll have to fill out? Any help is appreciated!

absolutely eligible for loans AFTER green card in hand.

unsure about the pell grant, alas.

however, filing a FAFSA, correctly identifying yer status - the FAFSA portal and the financial aid officer at yer school/uni will set it all straight.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Green card holders can receive federal financial aid for college. Financial aid is not a means tested benefit that impacts the I-864.

Means Tested Public Benefits

Federal means tested public benefits are the following:

Food stamps

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Medicaid

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

State Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

FAQs: Means Tested Public Benefits

Can the applicant use government assistance or public benefits?

What assistance programs are not considered means tested public benefit programs?

Can the applicant use government assistance or public benefits?

If the sponsored immigrant uses federal means tested public benefits, the sponsor must repay the cost of the benefits.

The following types of assistance are not considered means tested public benefits and do not have to be repaid.

Emergency Medicaid

School lunches

Immunizations and treatment for communicable diseases
