<p>Hi guys.</p>

<p>So this is short story about me.</p>

<p>I am U.S Citizen. My parents are not.</p>

<p>I had surgery in Korea 2 years ago. And stayed in Korea and in bed for 2 years.&lt;/p>

<p>Just got back to U.S 1 week ago. applied CC and registered CLASSES.</p>

<p>So what should I put for Legal guardianship thing?? I put 'yes' 4 4days ago, and school wanted 'Proof Of Legal guardianship' thing. what the heck is that...??</p>

<p>I am 21 years old, so I thought I am independent student.</p>

<p>But my parents send me the money for rent, food, and other things.</p>

<p>So.... what should i choose for that 'Legal guardianship' thing??</p>

<p>If i check yes, It says I am independent student. But when i check no, it says i am dependent student.</p>

<p>Do independent and dependent have no connection with age?</p>

<p>Plz HELP :)</p>

<p>You are a dependent student and will need to add parent information to your FAFSA. Legal guardianship is when an adult who is not a biological parent of the child is granted custody by a court of law … that person is more or less given the role of “parent” by the court. You are not independent due to age until you are 24.</p>
