<p>hi parents, id really appreciate it if you could please advice me on this visa related issue
I am a canadian citizen. But, my father works in the US is sponsored for a work visa from the company he works in, and I have an H4 visa to study in the US ( i live in masachussetes ). </p>

<p>Does this mean I am an international student, or rather, would colleges consider me an international student? or would i be just another student living in the US, with a canadian citizenship?</p>

<p>I am asking to know whether or not colleges who do not have need blind admissions for international students will consider me a non-American-citizen, thereby considering my application seperately.</p>

<p>I am not an expert on this, but my understanding is that if you are a canadian citizen, you are not a citizen of the US and thus you are a foreign or international student. Students of parents working in the US are not eligible for US financial aid.</p>

<p>you need to be award that financial aid for international students is very hard to get.</p>

<p>You may want to consider applying for schools in canada.</p>
