I am CT resident for more then three years,i hold a H4 visa and my
green card is in process,i have been told by few community colleges
here that i have to pay out of state fee.they say that i have to have
a green card and they wont even accept the paper stating my green card
is in process.whats the rule on this one,how can i get a in state fee

I had the same situation in Virginia and the answer was that if you
pay state taxes then you are in state. Even as a non-resident alien if
you have a driver?s license and a W2 then you should not have an
issue. There are of course other ways of proving state residency that
will be acceptable. It is curious to note that you are being asked to
pay out of state fees when if there were an issue you would be asked
for international fees. This makes me wonder if the advice you are
being given is from a knowledgeable source. This is just my experience
in Virginia but I would guess that the same rules apply in all states.
Good luck

The admmision form has part which asks that "Are you a legal resident
of CT?"below it states that Connecticut law requires that a student be
a citizen or a permanent resident living in CT for 12  months prior to
the beginning of the semester to be eligigable to receive in-state
tution.The admissions office may require proof of residency
            Does permanent resident mean a green card holder?
