I filed for my fafsa in mid june my permanent residency was approved about a month ago (about a week after i filed my fafsa) and i received my card about a week ago.
On the fafsa website, it said different things about eligible non-citizens and one of them said “I-94 parolee” which i took to mean I-94 + advanced parole on the EAD combo card.
Now im worried that i might not have been eligible at the time and that i shouldve just waited a couple of weeks.
what are the possible consequences of filing for fafsa a week early and should i be worried?
“Persons paroled into the U.S. for at least one year must provide evidence (such as having filed a valid permanent resident application) from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that they are in the U.S. for other than a temporary purpose and intend to become a citizen or permanent resident. Their documentation must have a stamp indicating that the student has been paroled into the United States for at least one year, (with a date that has not expired (federal student aid cannot be disbursed after the document has expired).” (this was an official email response from fafsa)
the phrase in parentheses is what i read before i filed the fafsa. I had the I94 & EAD combo & SSN & A# & my i485/i140 was in the DHS office awaiting an approval
