If she applied more than a year ago, then I'd make her a resident. We had a nasty one go all the way to arbitration (days before it was to appear in court) a few years back. She was a Canadian citizen who was attending as an international student, she came here with her husband to work (he was also a Canadian citizen), so she was on that category of visa. They bought a house, cars, driver's licenses were okay, but I denied residency until one year after she applied for residency. They were persistent, irate, and spent a lot of money on attorney fees, but we prevailed. So I'd apply the same logic here. Hopefully, they kept a copy. I don't know how easy it is to ask the INS for a copy fo something though. Her citizenship status needs to go into the equation, not just that she's been here over one year. Tika A.
