Tuition and Fees Waiver

Now the college is saying that I can only file in-state petition after I have a greencard so just gonna have to wait.

That sounds right, for the minimum required to shift to a lower tuition bracket.

WA state law says that you have to be in the state for 1 year on a non primary educational basis before you can receive resident tuition rates.

Primary being the key word. When I asked my uni, they said it will be a year from when I submitted my AOS. My primary reason for residing in the state became my marriage after that date.

I didn't even notify my school about my change of status.....

I wanted to wait to actually receive my GC first and then notify my school. I figured if anything happened in the process I will still be in F-1 status.

And my school starts counting in-state residency from the moment you 're either a permanent resident or citizen, and 2 year after that you can pay in-state tuition.
