试论AOS享受本州居民的可能性

2009年5月份，我们曾经讨论过AOS期间上学的身份和学费问题，现重新摘录供大家参考。

在485的附属申请人AOS期间以什么身份上学似乎是一个真空地带，但如果你不想要F1身份，就不要与国际学生办公室接触，你问他们，他们肯定让你以国际学生的身份上学和交外州的学费。尝试以驾照/房租合同，水电单等资料以本州居民的身份入学。

各州的情况不一样，当然这都是说公立大学和学院。
如果是在本州的高中毕业，伊利诺伊州在2003年规定所有非法移民的子女可以按照本州居民的待遇进入绝大部分州里支持的公立大学。
我以前说过AOS一年以上的子女可以享受联邦的资助，推论可以享受居民的待遇。

如果是处于AOS的成年人想入学，国际学生办公室都想把你纳入国际学生的管理范围，这是一个头痛的问题，可能需要咨询移民律师了。
我的意思是：如果你是成年人想入学，可以试着按居民的文件要求。

您的女儿16岁，距离上大学已经很近了。大学的联邦资助和以什么状态上大学是AOS一个问题。至少联邦资助明确规定AOS一年以上才可以按永久居民对待。所以尽早使用AP或EAD对于要上大学的人是很重要的。

这似乎是对所有州都是如此，请参见网站：

U.S. Permanent ReResidents and other eligible noncitizens

A lawful permanent resident (LPR) is a noncitizen who is legally permitted to live and work in the United States permanently. Other eligible noncitizens:
。。。。。
Persons paroled into the U.S. for at least one year must provide evidence (such as having filed a valid permanent resident application) from the DHS that they are in the U.S. for other than a temporary purpose and intend to become a citizen or permanent resident.
Not enough information. If the student said she was an eligible noncitizen but provided either no A-Number or an illegible or invalid one, the match won’t be attempted. Instead, the student will receive a C code and a comment stating that there’s a question about the A-Number and directing her to provide the school with documentation of her eligibility. Compare the document with the SAR/ISIR; if appropriate, the student should correct the A-Number and re it so that the match can be conducted.
Note that the same will apply to citizens of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau because such students won’t have A-Numbers to report. However, these students aren’t required to provide proof of eligible noncitizen status.
▼ Status not confirmed. If the match was conducted but didn’t confirm the student’s status, the discrepancy must be resolved before you pay him. (First make sure that his alien registration number and date of birth are correct.) To confirm he is eligible for FSA funds, his record will have to pass through a subsequent process called secondary confirmation.

使用AP入境虽然花时间长一点，但非常简单。其实就是在AP和I-94上添上AOS印章里的内容，移民官忙，你不忙。

非常奇怪你能得出我们是在讨论联邦大学的结论.
美国各洲的法律不一样,但移民法是属于联邦的层次,这也是众多非法移民不愿意洲和地方执法部门执行移民法的依据.

对于外国人在美国上大学各洲可能有一些差别.
但重要的是美国联邦的教育部有规定:凡是接收联邦资助的学院和大学必须对所有公民和居民提供平等的教育机会.
因为几乎所有的公立大学都接受了各种形式的联邦资助,所以他们都要遵守联邦教育部的监督.这样一来联邦教育部对居民的解释就成为各大学对待外国人的基本指导文件之一.
由此而来,AOS的人就可以理直气壮的要求绿卡居民的待遇.
一年的AOS是最保险的方式.
符合了联邦资助的条件,似乎是更理直气壮要求以居民身份上大学和叫本洲居民的学费.
