Is a Lpr an in-state resident?

[sounic 0]

Hi everyone I'm new to this, first I want to thanks you all this forum is like invisible support.

I'm waiting for my IL, case completed this month, hope i'll have interview in march.

I'm a minor child of a LPR my mother only spend 6months per year in the us and she's enumployed. My sister is the co sponsor.

The thing is I want to study in a state university. The tuition is lower for in-state resident which make me wonder will I be automatically a Minnesota resident if I live with my sister?

Thanks.

You need to meet the state requirements for residency to be considered for in-state tuition. That you are a LPR does not affect these requirements one way or another.

Usually for colleges to consider you to be an in-state resident, they look at where your financial support is coming from AND where your parents live. I was living in Kansas for 6 years before I was considered an in-state student for tuition purposes because my parents lived in Colorado. You have to show that you are self-sufficient for at least one year--this is like the 125% of the poverty guidelines for USCIS, but is much broader. I would go to the college you are planning to attend and check out the requirements for being considered an in-state student for tuition purposes as it varies from college to college.

It took my brother several years of living and working in Minnesota before they would grant his wife in-state tuition. Colleges want that extra out-of-state tuition as long as they can get it.

Good luck,

Dave

Well that's not what I expected. I checked on their website it's a bit too expensive for me. I'll check other colleges then. Thanks to you both .

You need to check with the school.

Having LPR status does not mean a person necessarily meets residency status for college.

Your sister is irrelevant in determining your residency for tuition purposes.

Check with the school. This is the only place that can give you a correct answer.

ditto

I am a USC but because I lived in Virginia, to have in state tuition, I have to prove that I have lived in Miami after I returned for at least 1 year before the semester I enroll to attend Miami-Dade College

every college and university is different
