Leslie -- I'd say no until she actually gets her permanent residency.  We
don't grant residency until they actually obtain the green card.

Subject: Can student with J1 visa get non-res tuition?

Hello,

I have a student who originally came to Washington on J1 visa (exchange
student) in Aug 2002. She stays in Washington and leases a house - obtains
'right to work status' (soc sec card) - gets a drivers license - gets
married and applies (pays fee) for permanent residency. She has held a job,
purchased a vehicle and opened a bank account. She has done all of this
before Sept 2003. (She does not attend school during this time - it appears
she used the visa to leave Russia)


Now she waits for her green card and wants to continue with school. I have
proof of residency application and copy of money order to INS. Can she
qualify for non-resident tuition vs. international tuition while still
holding the J1 visa?

Thanks for your input
Leslie
