As a newly US permanent resident, I have questions about Pell Grant

<p>I saw that claim about parent income and found that unbelievable based on the fact that for this student to have had an education visa and his parents paying for his education as he stated.</p>

<p>the student has low earnings and to get a visa, he has to show that he has all costs covered. Likely, his parents were the ones who showed that he had those costs covered and they’ve been paying for him while he waited for his green card. </p>

<p>Besides, doesn’t a person have to show that they won’t be a financial burden on the US in order to GET a green card?? By what means was he able to show that?</p>

<p>My parents who live in Europe pay for my food and rent.</p>

<p>How are his parents paying for food and rent in the US if they only earn $10k per year? </p>

<p>Something doesn’t sound right.</p>

<p>And…it seems weird that a person who has little to no income could even get a green card, a person who’s paid little to no taxes (and neither has his parents), to suddenly qualify for a bunch of money from US taxpayers. How nutty is that???</p>
