Are permanent US residents required to take TOEFL?

<p>I asked BU about this question and they replied as "If English is not your first language, you will be required to take a test of English language proficiency, either the TOEFL or IELTS exam."
But what I've been hearing is that if you study in the US for over 2 years and has the green card, you are not required to take the TOEFL test?
I'm running out of time to take the test for applying early decision? Anyone wants to help?</p>

<p>Why don’t you call the school and find out? If you were brought up with two languages simultaneously, you don’t need to take the test. </p>

<p>If you have attended school in US, TOEFL is usually never required, even if you don’t have a greencard.</p>

<p>OTOH, permanent residency does not prevent you from needing TOEFL if you live in another country.</p>
