<p>In BU’s supplement area, there’s this question:</p>

<p>If you indicated in the Common Application that you are not a United States citizen, please provide responses to any applicable questions in this section.</p>

<p>Country of Birth: ______________</p>

<p>If you do not currently hold a United States Permanent Resident or Immigration Visa (green card), is one pending? (Y/N?)</p>

<p>I was not born in the United States, but I do have a green card. Do I check “yes” or "no for the question? It asks is one pending, which is “no,” but I’m afraid they will regard me as an international student.</p>

<p>Thanks all.</p>

<p>Let’s think this one out.</p>

<p>“Please provide responses to any applicable questions in this section.” This means that you’re supposed to provide responses to any applicable questions in the section.</p>

<p>“I do have a green card.” This means you have a green card.</p>

<p>“If you do not currently hold a United States Permanent Resident or Immigration Visa (green card)…” This means that the question is not applicable if you have a green card.</p>

<p>So if you’re only supposed to provide responses to applicable questions, and the question is not applicable…Hopefully you can figure it out from there.</p>
