Greencard pending...college pending.

International Students
1

<p>Our Greencard is "pending." Realistically, it should come down mid-August. However, it was "supposed" to come down in January.</p>

<p>I will be a high school senior applying to college. The earliest due date of any of my applications is Nov 1.</p>

<p>My question is, if the Greencard doesn't come by Oct 29th, should I send in applications as a permanent resident and hope that the card comes soon or should I send them in as international resident?</p>

<p>What would be the advantages/disadvantages of either?</p>

<p>NO.. u CANT send them an application as a PR if u r not.. well i had this question qnswered by an adcom and they say u wont be able to get admission as PR if at the time of applying to the university u arent one..however in any later stage of time u do get ur pending status confirmed and thereby approved greencard then u have to inform them and ask for a change which will be brought to effect onlt the next semester so well wont help in the major admission game</p>

<p>well though since u r so close to the date.. what u can do is apply as an international student( u cant apply as an expecting Permanent resident).. and well if u get ur greencard before january 1st u can update the college and change ur status as well admission files are analysed and read starrting february.. </p>

<p>but again u cant apply as one..now </p>

<p>you can give them your alien application number and tell them your situation ( your alien application number becomes your greencard number btw) . </p>

<p>thats what i did with my schools and your situation is slightly better than being an international student.</p>
