Hi all! 👋 I came to the US on a K1 Visa and have my Legal Permanent Resident card (expires October 2029). I want to go to college for Electrical Apprenticeship to better my career, but the 10 month course is $18,499. My understanding is that in my current status I am NOT allowed to receive any sort of federal assistance, including FAFSA, otherwise the federal government can and will sue my wife for the amount received. Does anyone know if that applies to FAFSA and other federal grants or loans? I’ve been trying to find this information online and it’s very sparse. Thank you all!

The issue is. According to financial aid.gov, you are eligible under non-citizen if you have a i-94 that says ‘paroled’ for a year and if you are in US with intention to become Permanent resident or USC. Combo card is an advanced paroled document and should be enough to determine eligibility along with 485’s i797. I honestly don’t want to travel during covid19, risk my life and make a re-entry just get i-94 that says parolee. So the Question is, has there anybody else got approved financial aid on pending aos since on the combo card it says “serves as I-512 Advance Parole”? I will receive my EAD shorty and I was looking at job at Starbucks since they will pay your tuition - but without first applying the Fafsa they won’t pay your tuition. That is why I am trying to find a ways if I am even eligible or not. Btw on their website it also says “ To qualify for federal student aid, certain eligible noncitizens must be able to provide evidence from the USCIS that they are in the United States for other than a temporary purpose with the intention of becoming a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.” (As showed in the pictures) I will be happy for any advices! Thank you
