I want to apply to a Graduate program in Computer Science. I did my bachelors from a foreign university in Computer Engineering. Aside from this I've been raised in the US, completed all my education in the US, and am a US citizen.

Am I an internal student? The application process is a bit weird for me, I've having a hard time getting a grip of what I need and don't considering both matters are clashing. Any recommendation?

The application process is the same for all students. Don't worry about meaningless labels.

In student body statistics, you'll be classified as a US citizen. When it comes to financial aid and fellowship eligibility, you'll be treated like any other US citizen. Occasionally fellowships are tied to your undergraduate institution, which happens to be a non-US institution in your case. Also occasionally graduate programs have extra instructions for students who attended foreign colleges. If there's one, follow it if it applies to you. (For example, I know one graduate program that interviews applicants from Chinese universities but not other applicants. A more common example is that some universities don't accept 3-year Bachelor's degrees from foreign universities.)

It's really not that hard.

Thanks a lot, this really puts me at ease. I was a bit downcast with this whole thing but glad to hear this. Quick question as well. What would be recommended putting my foreign address or my resident address in America(Illinois)? Do I need write TOEFL?

Most likely you won't need TOEFL scores, but check each the requirements for each program you are applying to just in case. Most universities ask for TOEFL scores from "non-native speakers who did not complete their undergraduate education in an English-speaking country" but a few have stricter requirements.

I'd recommend you use the address at which you can most easily be reached. Nobody's going to judge your application by your mailing address.
