<p>Need help... I am in a situation where I need financial advice. I have a student who is a US citizen and is looking to attend college. His parents are foreign citizens with a foreign income. The student has a legal guardian here in the US where he resides. How does he go about filling out the finacial info on the FAFSA? Please help as any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Unless he has legal guardianship in the US courts where his parents no longer have legal rights to him/her, student is not independent for financial aid purposes.</p>
<p>student has to file the FAFSA using the parents income translated into US dollars. Since they most likely do not have a social security # they will place 000000000 in place of the SSN.</p>
<p>Agreed…if this isn’t a court-appointed guardian, but is just a document drawn up and signed by the parents, the student will have to use his parent’s income/asset info. He can’t use the guardian’s income/assets for FAFSA under any circumstances.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help :)</p>
