请教8老师：我们全家来美六年多，在2013年8月递交485，现女儿持H4, 有回美证，绿卡排期按照现在EB2的推进，估计到年底拿绿卡，女儿今年下半年申请大学，是按照国际生对待还是提交相关材料可以按照绿卡持有者条件申请大学？ 谢谢！
-She cannot be a green card holder to apply for the school yet. She can apply for the school as an H-4 holder, but she cannot be an F-1 student due to immigrant intent.  But I would suggest that your child use the advance parole (回美证) to travel to China, and use the AP (回美证) to reenter US to  become a parolee, then apply for the school as a parolee. Thus, she can be qualified for application for the Federal financial aid. This is much better way than as an H-4 holder.
