<p>If my family is in the process of applying for a green card, will that matter at all? </p>

Students who have applied for financial aid and are in the process of applying for United States permanent-resident status must submit acceptable documentation of permanent residence to Carnegie Mellon’s Office of Admission by your admission acceptance deposit date to be considered for aid for the fall semester of the same year.

<p>that's CMU. And from what I understand in this statement, I have to show them that my parents are applying for a green card and that we aren't going anywhere, in which case I Would be eligible for the school's grants/loans?</p>

<p>It looks like you will have to show that you actually have received your green card by the time you pay the deposit or you will lose the financial aid that they might have awarded you.</p>

<p>You’d better pick up the telephone and call them to find out just exactly what their policy is.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
