My son will apply US universities soon as international student from Hong Kong.

whole family fly back to HK and he will finish high school and attend HKDSE exam

notify UC the change of residence and submit FAFSA for financial aid before Mar 2

If he is accepted from expected UC, mom and son will live in California before first school day in August

out-of state tuition fee for the first year

qualifed to pay in-state residence tuition fee in the sophomore year, please correct me if it is wrong.

Will the mom be working in CA as the family’s principal bread earner?

Since parents are married and father staying in HK is presumably the principal income earner, I don’t see how you will be able to demonstrate that you have severed residence ties from HK and are living in CA for other than educational purposes.
