FAFSA for individuals with F visa status (Students)

1. Are you a citizen of the United States or eligible non-citizen?


This question is often asked on forms and applications related to education, financial aid, employment, and various government programs. It is used to determine a person’s citizenship status, which can impact their eligibility for certain opportunities and benefits.

Being a citizen of the United States means that a person was either born in the U.S. or went through the naturalization process to become a citizen. Eligible non-citizens include permanent residents (green card holders), refugees, and individuals granted asylum.

If a person answers “yes” to this question, they are confirming their U.S. citizenship or eligible non-citizen status. If they answer “no,” it may indicate that they are not a citizen or eligible non-citizen and could potentially be an undocumented immigrant or have a temporary visa status.

Answering this question truthfully is important as providing false information about citizenship status can have legal consequences.

6. Are you considered a resident or non-resident alien for tax purposes?

This depends on your immigration status and the amount of time you spend in the US. According to the IRS, if you are not a US citizen, you are considered a non-resident alien for tax purposes unless you meet certain qualifications to be classified as a resident alien. These may include having a green card or meeting the substantial presence test, which considers how many days you were physically present in the US during the current and previous two years. It is important to determine your tax residency status because it affects what forms you need to file and what deductions and credits you are eligible for. You can find more information about determining your tax residency status on the IRS website.

This could include changes in your program or school, changes in your immigration status, or any other changes that may affect your eligibility for financial aid.

Off-campus employment is limited and requires additional authorization from the university or USCIS. Generally, off-campus work must be related to the student’s field of study and can only be authorized for certain reasons, such as severe economic hardship or internship opportunities. International students should consult with a designated school official at their university before seeking off-campus employment to ensure they have the proper authorization in place.

17. If awarded work-study funding, are there any restrictions on where you can work as an international student with an F visa?


Yes, there are restrictions on where international students can work with an F visa. According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), international students with an F-1 visa are only permitted to work on-campus for a maximum of 20 hours per week while school is in session. Off-campus employment is not allowed for F-1 visa holders unless they receive prior authorization from their Designated School Official (DSO) or the USCIS. Additionally, certain types of work-study jobs may require additional authorization, such as working for a government agency or working off-campus but still under the direction of the school. It is important to consult with your DSO before accepting any work-study positions to ensure you are in compliance with your visa regulations.

18. Are there any language requirements for maintaining your F visa status while studying in the United States?


Yes, there may be language requirements depending on the program of study and the university. Many universities require international students to demonstrate a certain level of proficiency in English through standardized tests such as TOEFL or IELTS before enrolling. Additionally, it is important to maintain good academic standing and meet any language requirements set by your specific program to remain in F visa status. Failure to meet these requirements could potentially result in termination of your student status and a loss of your F visa eligibility.
