@lindyk8 I appreciate your response but please don’t assume you know my background. I’m not in CA for educational purposes, I’m in California because when I got my green card approved I had to move to the States and chose this state to be my home. So no, I didn’t move just to attend a fancy university. I moved because I wanted to live in the U.S and it makes no sense to me that no matter what school and state I even consider, I’ll forever be considered an out of state student, as of right now at least. That’s why I thought my case could be an exemption
