<p>I'm a dependent of a H1 parent. After having lived in many different countries around the world, my family settled here about 7 years ago. I completed high school in California, and am now a student at a local community college, awating admission decisions. Does anyone know how the UC's regard applicants like us? Are we considered a resident for admission purposes and/or tuition purposes? I know there is a petition for an exemption, but that only applies to current students, it seems...o.O Please help! Thanks in advance for your replies.</p>
