When can EB-5 applicants enjoy in-state tuition?

Each state has its own specific rules concerning in-state tuition. When your son becomes a conditional permanent resident, he may be able to qualify for in-state tuition in the particular state.

The conditional green card should be enough for most schools to qualify for in-state tuition.

After he becomes a lawful permanent resident (i.e., after I-526 etition and adjustment of status or immigrant visa is approved).

Rules for in-state tuition vary by state. Some require being a green card holder. Others do not and may consider certain non-immigrant visa holders for resident rates, such as E-2 or L-2 dependents. Check with a particular university or college.

In-state tuition rules vary from state to state, and sometimes from school to school within a particular state. A conditional lawful permanent resident enjoys the same rights, privileges, duties and responsibilities as a lawful permanent resident (without condition) by definition in the regulations, so at that stage, at least, your son should qualify.

Generally, the moment he obtains approval of his I-526, which basically guarantees him a conditional green card, he is entitled to request his status be updated with the school district to that of a permanent resident. This is a common routine in most school districts.

An EB-5 applicant can only enjoy in-state tuition after they have already achieved lawful permanent Residency (LPR) on a conditional basis. Even then, there may be separate requirements that you reside as an in-state resident for so many months before eligible for in-state tuition.

The rules vary by state. A minor&#39s residency for tuition will ordinarily be dependent on the parent&#39s visa status, but that can vary.

Thank you for your EB-5 visa question. In-state tuition varies by state. It is best to ask your state educational agency to determine what is sufficient to establish in-state residency requirements for purposes of in-state tuition.

When he receives his CPR status.

Every state has different rules, but most require permanent residency for in-state tuition.

There is not a set time. I would check with the college he wants to attend and see if in-state is based on physical residency in the state or being a permanent resident.

Your son first has to become a conditional resident after I-526 is approved. When he is a resident and he goes to a public university where he resides, he qualifies for the in-state tuition.
