<p>I just submitted my SIR yesterday and my residence status is "pending"
Right after I submitted my SIR, a new step is created on the checklist.
It says
"Non-Immigrant Information Form (NIF) to request visa documents<br>
Complete and submit the Non-immigrant Information Form (NIF) as part of your admissions acceptance. The NIF also gathers data for producing the I-20 or DS-2019 document most international students need to get an F-1 or J-1 visa or to transfer to UC Berkeley.
If you are a U.S citizen or Permanent Resident currently holding a valid green card, you do not need to submit the NIF.
If your application for Permanent Resident status is pending (not yet approved), you must complete the NIF."</p>

<p>I am very confused because I have a green card.
So it means I don't have to submit the NIF. Do I?
Also, why is my residence status is "pending"?
Can anyone please answer me tot</p>

<p>Don’t worry about this form. These people are stupid with a capital S. I don’t really understand why they make us fill this form. (I have applied for permanent residency based on the fact that my wife is a US citizen, and my case is pending). This form is primarily for INTERNATIONAL students.</p>

<p>After having a couple heart attacks and gettin real mad and throwing a fit around my house :smiley: , I finally was able to access this form (you have to wait 48 to 72 hours after the SIR. It’s just a FORMALITY. I had asked the same question you had on the Berkeley forums.</p>

<p>All you have to do is fill in 3 or four fields (I filled in “pending permanent resident”), and it will eliminate you out of the system, and that’s the end of it!! phew!!! There is also a field marked “permanent resident” which I believe will apply to you.</p>

<p>…Oh sorry, after all that… I missed that you said you were a permanent resident. Yes, you don’t even have to fill that form out.</p>

<p>Your resident status classification won’t be available for a good 6+ weeks or so. It’s gonna be a good long wait!!</p>
