<p>I found this info</p>

If neither parent is an LPR or Citizen of the U.S, the following procedure is required. Using the student’s PIN signature, submit all financial data online. Be certain to print out the signature page of the FAFSA. Both the student and one parent should hand sign and date the signature page and send it to the address in the U.S. identified for processing. It is advisable to use a courier to send it so you can track its delivery and know when it is received at the processing center. Using the student’s online PIN signature and then submitting the student’s and parent’s hand signatures by post will confirm the parent’s written signature.<br>
Additionally, the following will be helpful in completing the FAFSA:</p>

<p>Questions 6 and 18: If you reside outside of the U.S. use the drop down table to select “other” when responding to the request for “state.”
Questions 21 and 22: Male students (aged 18 - 25) must be registered with selective service in order to apply for need-based aid. If you are not yet registered with selective service, you may check “yes” to question 22 and your name will be sent to selective service for registration - or you may first go to [Selective</a> Service System: Welcome](<a href=“http://www.sss.gov%5DSelective”>http://www.sss.gov) and register online for selective service before completing and submitting the FAFSA.
Questions 57 and 61: If your parents are foreign nationals who do not have a U.S. social security number, insert 0 (zero) in each of the social security number blanks.
Question 71c: Complete this question if your parents file a tax return in your country of residence provided that your country of residence is not the U.S.

<p>When you file the FAFSA, convert your family’s financial information into US$ at the exchange rate of the date of filing. If they do not have Social Security numbers, you can use 000-00-0000 instead. If you don’t have a Social Security number, contact the Citizens Services office at the closest US Consulate for help with that.</p>

<p>I’ve got a list of students like you in the computer that Happydad is using right now. When I can get to it, I will send it to you two so you can get in touch with others in your situation.</p>

<p>FAFSA for the 12/13 academic year will not be available until January 1st. You can request your PINs now as they sometimes take several days. Make sure you write them down and keep them in a safe place as you’ll need them for all future FAFSAs and federal loans.</p>

<p>Also, make sure that you use only the fafsa.ed.gov site, not fafsa.com (which is a paid site)!</p>

<p>The FAFSA formula is available as a PDF document at <a href=“http://www.ifap.ed.gov/efcformulaguide/attachments/082511EFCFormulaGuide1213.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ifap.ed.gov/efcformulaguide/attachments/082511EFCFormulaGuide1213.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You should print that out and work through it with your parents. This way you will know which financial records are necessary for filing the FAFSA, and you will have a better idea of what your FAFSA EFC will be.</p>
