Am I considered an international student?
I'm very confused about this college thing and all. I was born in mexico, but I'm legal here in the US (resident). Am I considered an international student if I study here in the US? Thanks

If you are a U.S. citizen than you are not an international student.

If you're a resident in the United States than you're not an International student.

Being an international student means where your residency lies, it has nothing to do with where you were born. If you are a US resident then you are not an international student! If you are a perm resident and hold a perm res card/green card, then that makes you a permanent resident (in the middle) - you just need to provide that info to the school but you are legal to go to school in the US. Good luck!

There are different kinds of residency. In lieu of USA citizenship, you must have permanent immigrant status (ie "green card"). There are other forms of residency/work visas available to Mexican citizens — eg TN or TD — which are NOT equivalent to permanent residency status.

Permanent Residents are considered like citizens.
