Q: I were admitted at UNF as a student with F-1 visa (I was seeking for it), but while waiting the interview I got married
And we applied for green card. So now I can’t be an F-1 student anymore and I’m confused about my admission. can I study? And if I can what rights I’ll have? (Paying like an international student or resident?)
My university can’t answer me on that and they are saying I need to talk with the lawyer.
A: As advised by your University, you should contact an immigration lawyer for assistance.
A: You may attend school as an LPR and no longer need the J visa.
A: Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent immigration attorney who can evaluate your case and, if you so choose, guide you through the marriage-based immigration process. Through the marriage based case, you may be able soon to qualify for in-state tuition if you plan on continuing with school.
