<p>Hello</p>
<p>My kids are in the same boat. Our kids are CA born US citizens. We both parents are non US citizens and living with our kids in India and don’t. After 12th grade high school we want to send them to US for undergrad program. We (parents) don’t intend or cannot be in the USA and hence the kids will be by themselves. I understand that they aren’t getting the resident benefits during first year. Questions -
- Would they be eligible for resident benefits after 1 year?
- Is it mandatory for guardians/parents too to be residents?
- Could we have our relative/friend living in that state as guardian and still get the benefits?
- I checked Fafsa grant, but that isn’t much compared to the overall costs. What is the best route here for my kids.</p>
<p>your responses much appreciated</p>
<p>thanks
Rohit</p>
