<p>I'm an AB540 student and I don't know how to navigate this SIR process (for LA). Would I turn in the affidavit before I SIR or after? </p>
<p>If anyone has any information about the matter, that would help a lot, thank you.</p>
<p>I’m AB540 too. Im glad to know there’s at least one more person.</p>
<p>I feel better too haha
I emailed the Registrar and I’m planning to talk to my transfer counselor soon (he does AB540 stuff at my cc thank god). I’ll let you know what I find out!</p>
<p>thanks im going to talk to my counselor as well</p>
<p>On the same boat, how are you guys planning to pay for your classes? It’s like ~30k and we can’t get any financial aid.</p>
<p>In the same boat as you guys. And yes having no financial aid sucks but fortunately my parents are helping me out.</p>
<p>The only option I know of is a private student loan that Wells Fargo offers. If you know of a US citizen that can sign for you, you can use that. I’ve talked to a couple other people in our situation and they have successfully used this option. That said, you need a USC that you trust (and who trusts you) and… it’s a private loan so… </p>

<p>I mean, yeah, you can try working or getting your parents to help or looking for scholarships, etc.</p>
<p>I totally forgot but you need an ITIN as well.</p>
<p>Ah, I see, thanks. </p>
<p>On another note the California assembly might be passing some legislation that lets us get Fin Aid. I’m not sure if Jerry brown will veto it or not though.</p>
<p>I don’t know, viral. I’m just going to try to get through college. My mom is going to marry a USC soon but I can’t get a green card under him as I’ve aged out. Hopefully something will pass by the time I graduate, or my boyfriend will propose lol</p>
<p>haha gl with that.</p>
<p>Haha thanks. Right now though, I’m just confused about the SIR stuff. Do you know anything?</p>
<p>I’m on the same boat as well. I tried going through the SIR process but didn’t want to mess anything up so I left it for now. I don’t know anybody at my CC that deals with AB540 students so please let me know what you guys find out! Thanks!</p>
<p>I found a packet a while back regarding this. It’s for UC Berkeley, but I’m sure some of it coincides with LA stuff <a href=“http://students.berkeley.edu/apa/apa%20home/eaop/files/12-15-07/AB%20540%20Packet-for%20students.PDF[/url]”>http://students.berkeley.edu/apa/apa%20home/eaop/files/12-15-07/AB%20540%20Packet-for%20students.PDF</a></p>
<p>Thanks viral! That has a lot of great info!</p>
<p>So the Registrar and my counselor both said you should SIR (being truthful and everything), and then send in the affidavit!</p>
<p>my parents are legal residents so they’ll get loans for me.</p>
<p>i was also told to apply for scholarships on maldef.com</p>
<p>ashley are they gonna charge us more for sending the sir? like twice as much or $100 like everyone else.</p>
<p>also when do we submit the ab540 sheet?</p>
<p>Kidkrasher, you’re so lucky! I’m gonna look at scholarships too but I’m always very wary… P.s. your link isn’t working for me.</p>
<p>I sent in the SIR indicating I was a nonresident and everything, and I only paid $100. I think the fee is the same for everyone. </p>
<p>You mail in (you can take it to the office as well but why bother lol) the affidavit after you’ve turned in the SIR and SLR. </p>
<p>Just BTW, here’s a link to the form: <a href=“http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/forms/ucnrtexemption.pdf[/url]”>http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/forms/ucnrtexemption.pdf</a></p>
<p>If you guys have any questions or stuck on the SIR, just call the number that’s on the help button. They walk you through the process! </p>
<p>Do you guys know if our research or volunteer opportunities on campus are limited?</p>

<p>sorry, this is the correct link as well as some other links that were given to me by another user on this site</p>
