<p>You said that you had an F-1 visa previously. Were you attending a high school in Texas during that time? If so, there is a Texas law that allows an international student who resides in Texas for at least 3 years and graduate from a Texas high school be considered a resident for tuition purposes to a public school in Texas.</p>
<p>My oldest daughter qualified under this law. She is attending University of Houston with instate tuition and she is classified as an international student. (she has not applied to be a permanent resident).</p>
<p>If this applies to you, please send me a private message and I can get you all the details.</p>
<p>P.S. This was originally written to cover those undocumented residents from the South, but it does apply to those with visas also.</p>
