Скажите, а как считается резидентство, с какой даты? То время, что мы живем в штате до получения гринкарты считается или нет? Или только с момента получения гринкарты?

С момента оформления утилити счетов по новому адресу.

С момента оформления утилити счетов по новому адресу.

В моем колледже нужно доказывать как минимум 3 разными документами (такими как ютилити счета, например), что живешь в штпте как минимум 1 год. Из самого раннего я, помню, предоставила marriage certificate, приняли. То есть, с даты замужества можно отсчитывать резидентство.

In-State Tuition and State Residency Requirements



State residents often qualify for lower in-state tuition rates and state education grants. Most states have established residency requirements designed to prevent out-of-state students who become residents incidental to their education from qualifying.

These residency requirements are often encoded in state statute, and vary significantly from state to state. But generally, a dependent student must have at least one parent who is a state resident for at least one full year before the student matriculated in college. (Arkansas requires just six months. Alaska requires 24 months. Tennessee does not have a durational component to their residency requirements.) The parent should be the student's source of financial support, but does not necessarily need to have claimed the student as a dependent on their income tax returns. (If the student receives substantial financial support from out of state, the student's state residency status may be questioned. This can include PLUS loans borrowed by a parent who does not reside in the state. Also, if the student's parents are divorced, residency is often based on the residency status of the custodial parent.)


For independent students, either they or their spouse must have been a state resident for at least a year before the first day of classes. Some states require two years of residency and self sufficiency for independent students (e.g., the old Bright-Line Test for independent student status). These states include Arizona and California. Some states may also have a minimum age requirement for independent students to qualify as in-state residents (e.g., 19, 21, 23, 24), but may allow legally emancipated minors to qualify is they satisfy the durational requirements. Nebraska does not have a minimum period of residency for parents of dependent students, but uses the one-year standard for independent students. Some states (e.g., Minnesota) require a full calendar year of residency and not just twelve months prior to the first day of classes.

Residency requirements may be established by the state board of higher education. The authority to determine whether a student qualifies may have been delegated to the college. In such situations the school will want to see a preponderance of evidence that the family established state residency (both physical presence and intent), and that this residency was not merely incidental to the college attendance.

The determination as to whether a student qualifies is made by the tuition classification officer (usually someone in the Office of Admissions or Registrar) at each college or university. Each college's decision is binding only at that college. There is usually no appeal beyond the university.

Establishing Residency

Eligible students that intend to become residents of California must fulfill both the Physical Presence and Intent requirements listed below. .....

PHYSICAL PRESENCE

The eligible student must be physically present in the State of California for one (1) year prior to the start of the term for which he/she is applying or enrolling for. The one-year period begins when the student is not only present in California but also has demonstrated clear intent to become a permanent resident of California. Students will be required to provide proof of continuous presence in California for the past (12) months. This may be accomplished by providing a rental/lease agreement, utility bills, employment pay stubs, etc. for the past (12) months in the student's name.

кто-то по незнанию вам такое говорит.
вообще говоря, вам вопрос резидентства даже не надо было поднимать самим. на вопрос являетесь ли резидентами штата северной каролины отвечать что да, являетесь. если попросят какой-либо ютилити билл, предьявить его и все.
