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
