Hey guys,

This is really strange. I have been trying to figure out about in-state tuition fees for international students who have been approved for TPS but my school finally said , I have to wait for a year starting the date my TPS got aprroved, it doesn't matter how long I have been staying in the same state. I heard it depends on schools and states.

Have any of you faced this situation or heard anything about it because TPS might end till December, 2016.

Please share your thoughts.

Most states require 12 months of physical presence in their states to become the resident of that particular states and get the state benefits. For example: If you want to be a resident of Minnesota and get in-state tuition, you must move to Minnesota, work there for a year to be a bona-fide resident of that states. During the first 12 months, most states will not permit you to take more than 6 credits if you want to establish residence with that states. However, some states might have different rules.

thanks for the reply. I have been living in California for years but when I heard it only counts after a year of your TPS got approved. That means if my TPS was approved in 2016 then I have to wait till 2017.
But you know what I found this online: "The first factor in paying for college is the tuition cost. State schools offer lower in-state tuition to state residents. As the Washington Post has reported, some states, including Virginia, permit TPS students to pay in-state tuition fees at state colleges. Prospective students who are interested in matriculating at a school within their state college system should contact the school to learn if TPS status holders are eligible for in-state tuition. If so, the prospective student will also need to satisfy the school’s residency requirements."
This doesn't specify 1 year and we might not have a 1 year...... The most important thing is I am an international student....

Some of state requires to prove domicile home. One person can have only one domicile home.
Domicile is defined as an individual’s “present, fixed home where you return following temporary absences and where you intend to stay indefinitely.” The individual must reside in Virginia and must intend to keep this as his or her home indefinitely.
Virginia domicile and eligibility for in-state tuition. Students who are in the United States under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) are eligible to establish Virginia domicile.
