Each college and university sets its own policy about how to classify students who have been educated in the US, but who do not have a green card. You have to communicate directly with each of the ones on your list.

If you meet certain requirements for grades and test scores, some of the colleges and universities in these two lists will automatically admit you even though you are currently an international applicant. Check each of the institution’s websites and/or contact the admissions offices directly:

If you have a reasonable expectation that you will have your green card within the next year or so, and you have something else you could be doing during a gap year, it may make more sense for you to take that gap year, and apply once you do have your green card.
