<p>Hi, i have a son who is US citizen but growing up overseas. He is attending Purdue University, West lafayette for 2nd semester. Due to he is not a Indiana residence, he is paying school fee almost as much as International student.
Please advice how to get Indiana residency.</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>
<p>Unless you live in Indiana and have for some time, you son cannot get Indiana residency. </p>
<p>1)You are an unemancipated student (financially dependent) and your parent or guardian establishes a domicile in Indiana prior to the first day of the academic session for which resident classification is sought. The move to Indiana must be predominantly for reasons other than to enable you to gain resident status for tuition purposes (such as moving because of a job transfer).
2) You are an emancipated student (financially independent) and have been domiciled in Indiana for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes of the academic session for which resident classification is sought. Your domicile must be established for a predominant purpose other than attending an institution of higher education.
So basically, either you or he must live in Indiana. If you move with him, you can do it 12 months earlier. But if they get a suspicion (and from my experience, they will) that you moved there solidly just to go to Purdue (which it seems you are), you’re going to need a solid alibi. </p>
