Fafsa with parents of A2 visa. 20-21

[tipsplease]

@BelknapPoint

We have to be super clear here…a child, born in the US of diplomats with A2 visas, is not considered a citizen of the US under the 14th amendment, said child has to apply for permanent residency (Green Card).

Since OP is of the age to be concerned about completing FAFSA, and my understanding is that an A2 visa has a maximum limit of five years with no renewal available, it’s possible that at the time of OP’s birth the parents (or at least the mother) were in the United States in a non-diplomatic capacity.

I don’t know the answer to the FAFSA question. OP’s situation is unique enough that direct contact with a federal government FAFSA specialist is probably warranted.

oh okay, thanks! do you know how I can do that?
