Conditional pr

[gpluss 1]

Hi

I'm in the process of applying for a k1visa. I plan on continuing with school in the states. Once I get my conditional green card, does that qualify me to pay tuition as regular student or international student? I hope someone will be able to clarify this for me. Thanks

Good question im also interested in hearing the answer to this, but im pretty sure, this means you are a resident and can pay regular fees. Hope im right!!

Op - Most states, say California would require that you lived at least a year in the state to qualify for in state tuition. I researched this before for my wife when she came.

I hope this helps. To be certain just research what's required in your particular state.

For some Universities, you can be a resident of the state for several years, but still not qualify for in-state tuition. It all boils down to where your money to pay for school is coming from. For me when I was going to school in Kansas, I had to have a job and source of income from Kansas for more than one year before the university would consider me a resident for in-state tuition. If someone else is paying, family members, grants, etc, check with the university to see how they handle that situation. They only had two classes of students--in-state and out of state for tuition.

Good luck,

Dave

Would that mean living there for a year as a resident? Or living for a year previously on a j1 would that count?

You need to speak to each school about their policy. All of them are different.

Thanks everyone for their response. But i have the answer to my question.

I did a little digging to the school that i was looking at.

According to the college catalog this is what it says:

"Non-U.S. citizens such as permanent

residents, parolees, asylees,

refugees, or other permanent status

persons (e.g., conditional permanent

residents and temporary

residents), who have applied to

and have been approved by the

U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and

Immigration Services with no date

certain for departure shall be considered

eligible to establish Florida

residency for tuition purposes.

This is for the school that i was looking at in Florida. I am not sure if it holds true for all the schools.

@realizement: you are right with your response. but just to be safe, u should check the school's catalogue for which you are applying to.

Regular since you are considered a permanent resident and not a foreigner.
