Thanks. If while the I-130 is pending, can my mom apply for an Tourist
visa to visit USA. Besides CA and texas, do u know any state that
allow I-130 pending pay in-state tuition. When I transfer to another
college, should I say that I'm on F-1 visa status and I-130 pending,
or should I only say that my I-130 pending. Which one is benefit more.
I just send email to the University of Illinois and they said that I
have to get an actual green card to pay in-state tuition. Because I'm
still on F-1 visa status. That's the reason why I don't allow to pay
in-state tuition. Please help me. |
