Actually check with the financial aid office of the individual schools you are interested in. When we moved from Turkey to the US my husband was given a green card upon entry. All the paperwork for the GC was done outside the country. When we arrived we did everything we needed to in order to make ourselves residents, driver’s licenses, jobs, etc. A few months later my husband started at the CC as a california resident. He also received full financial aid. It never occured to use that this could be a problem.
He was considered independent, of course, so that might make it different. It was obvious we were moving to the US permanently. It was not for education.
This was quite a few years ago but it never hurts to check.
