You are an international students in every way possible.

It seems like you need to learn some facts about visa. Your F2 visa is only valid when whoever has F1 visa keeps his/her status. You can NOT go to college with F-2 visa. I heard there is a bill that proposes that F2 be enabled to go to college, but that won’t happen any time soon. Also, however much you stay in US with F2, or any kind of non-immigrant visa, you do NOT count as a citizen/permanent residents.
You need F-1 visa to go to college in the US. With your visa, you are not permitted to work out side the campus, and you will be able to work only for 20 hours a week, 40 hours a week during summer. Also, admission will be a lot harder in higher tier schools.

Now, whether you will get in state tuition or OOS tuition, that depends on states, but except NY and TX, all states will NOT grant you in state benefit since you are in F visa. I don’t know where you live, but don’t expect to get instate benefit if you are not in either in NY or TX.
