Hello. I am applying for financial aid for colleges for 2019. I am a bit confused about selecting the currency in my CSS profile. I am a US citizen and have been living in USA for the last 6 months. My dad is a Pakistani citizen and before coming to USA, i had lived all my life in Pakistan. According to FAFSA, I am still dependent on my father. However, the issue with currency is that all my dad’s tax returns are in pakistani rupee (the local currency). Then, the CSS Profile also requires the student’s (myself) information e.g. income, assets etc. and that I have in US Dollars because i live in US now. So, i don’t understand that when the application asks for ‘your’ primary currency, is it referring to the student or the parent? And then as a consequence, i would have to convert one currency into the other (the primary currency). Which currency do i use?
You are living here, so use USD for your own figures, and convert your dad’s figures to USD at the exchange of the day.
@happymomof1 thank you for your help!
