<p>I submitted my application as an international to CAS on November 5th.
On November 7th (today), I received my Green Card, and I am now a permanent citizen of the U.S.
How do I go about updating my status to Cornell? I would call them, but after that, I don't know what would be ahead.</p>
<p>Has anybody done something similar and willing to tell me about it?</p>
<p>Call the admissions and financial aid office, send any necessary documentation in if prompted.</p>
<p>Send it as soon as possible as well. I would start with the ISSO. They should have a good idea where/who exactly needs to be contacted.</p>
<p>Having a green card is not the same as being a citizen… A green card allows you to be a ‘permanent resident’ of the U.S. Green cards need to be renewed every 10 years. Citizenship does not need to be renewed. Once you’ve had a green card for a few years, you can apply for citizenship, though. This link might help:</p>

<p>Just thinking you’ll want to be clear when talking with admissions about your status.</p>
<p>It wouldn’t matter whether OP is a permanent resident or American citizen, he/she now will be eligible for FA, which is big. Cornell is need blind when it comes to admission for internationals, but I am not sure if there is a quota for internationals.</p>
