<p>YES it will, on a number of fronts. Until your residency has been changed to in-state, your entire package will be based on an OOS “cost of attendance” with a $34,000 tuition. If classed as an international student, I also note that Michigan goes on record as saying it does not meet need for International students. So you package and cost as a resident would be entirely different than both your package and cost OOS.</p>
<p>WHEN did you file the evidence? You may want to send a note to financial aid letting them know the status, and check regularly with the residency office. Get all your forms prepared anyway, because surely the residence office is aware that the determination needs to be made prior to calculating your aid package. Immigration lawyers don’t really have any say over Michigan’s criteria, btw, but I hope she’s right.</p>
