<p>My dad did a PhD in India and my mom is a high school graduate. I was born in India but I'm a permanent resident of the U.S. Would I qualify as 1st generation?</p>
<p>anyone? (10 chars)</p>
<p>I don't think so, I could be wrong though.</p>

<p>?</p>
<p>I think so, if your parents are Indian citizen and you are the first generation to be automatically confirmed US resident :D ( your parents applying for US citizen is not a matter )</p>
<p>yea my parents are Indian citizens and I'm the first to get permanent resident</p>
<p>No, if a parent has a degree from anywhere you are not first generation.</p>
<p>It does not matter if your parents went to college in or outside of the U.S., if your parents have attended college, you are not a first generation college student.</p>
<p>you are not first gen</p>
<p>basically if either of your parents has achieved an education beyond the basic high school education, you are not a first generation student.</p>
