Which one is my child, domestic or international? [US citizen outside of the US]

It is because the student isn’t currently in the US. As long as the student isn’t studying high school in the US, the student is subject to international application fee.

The common app link above says :

• If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you pay the domestic application fee (if a fee is required)

• If you are NOT a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you pay the international application fee (if a fee is required)

What is your source for saying place of current location rather than citizen/LPR status determines the application fee?
