居留权如何确定

But if you have special circumstances—such as recent marriage or military duty—things can seem less clear.

学费平等立法NJ S2555
新泽西州立法机构最近通过了一项立法,允许H1-B签证持有人的受抚养子女有资格获得州内学费.

- 在新泽西州上过三年或三年以上的高中

如有兴趣申请,请填妥 新泽西州居留身份申请表 and submit the requested documentation to the Office of the Registrar.
居住权的初步确定
When you apply for admission to any graduate or undergraduate program, the admissions office will determine your residency status for tuition assessment. This determination will be based upon the information you supply on the application for admission. 如果你不是美国公民, you must complete the nonresident portion of the application and supply documentation of your nonimmigrant status.
如果您提供的信息不正确或不充分,学校保留纠正您在居留身份方面的任何错误的权利, which directly or by inference leads to an inaccurate tuition assessment. 当错误被识别和纠正时, 受影响学期的学费将重新计算, 你将承担任何额外的学费.
居住权的法律确定
以下来自新泽西州法规注释的声明定义了以高等教育为目的的居住:“在公立高等教育机构首次注册之前,在该州居住了12个月的人被推定为以学费为目的在该州定居. 在首次入学前在该州居住不到12个月的人被推定为非住校学生."
大学保留要求你让美国国税局或新泽西州税务部门将税务记录转发给适当的大学办公室进行审查的权利, 或者直接向你要求.
如果你声称在新泽西建立了新的住所, 你必须证明(1)实际放弃了你以前的住所, 同时表示不打算返回新泽西州,以及(2)实际居住在新泽西州,并打算因上学以外的原因永久居住在该州.
如果您来自其他州或国家,并且在申请申博太阳城之前已在新泽西州的任何类型的教育机构注册, 您将被推定为在新泽西州主要是为了教育目的,并将被推定为没有在新泽西州建立住所. 尽管你可以提出证据来克服这些假设, 必须指出的是,在假期期间或偶尔中断学习期间继续居住在新泽西州本身并不能克服这些假设.
学费评估中考虑的因素
如果您在新泽西州的公立高等教育机构首次注册之前在新泽西州居住了12个月, 就学费而言,你被推定为本州居民.
If you have been domiciled within this state for less than 12 months prior to the date of enrollment, you are presumed to be a nonresident for the purpose of calculating tuition. If you assert residency but your residency status is challenged by the University, 你必须按照下列规定证明你的住所:
“住所”是指你拥有真实身份的地方, 固定, 永久住所和主要生活场所, 对于哪个, 无论何时你不在, 你有回来的打算.
Although actual presence is not necessary to preserve domicile once it has been acquired, 如果你不在这个州, you must have the intention of returning to New Jersey in order to remain a legal resident.
在确定是否已显示合法居民身份时, mere physical presence and the declaration of intent to remain in the state may not be sufficient. 协助确定您是否是新泽西州的合法居民, 居住的主要证据, 虽然不是决定性的, 一份写明住所的公证宣誓书和一份证明在新泽西工作的新泽西州所得税申报表副本是您居住在该州的主要原因吗. 对于依赖学生来说, a copy of your parents’ or legal guardians’ New Jersey tax return will be required in addition to the affidavit. The following additional items may be considered: voter registration in New Jersey, 新泽西的驾驶执照或登记, 或大学认为可接受的其他资料. 在特殊情况下, 如果没有主要证据, the institution may make a determination of New Jersey domicile based exclusively on supplementary evidence; however, supplementary evidence may not be deemed sufficient to justify a determination of legal-resident status.
If you resided with your parents or legal guardians for more than six consecutive weeks last year or this year, 或者以它们为食, 服装, 或在今年或前一年的住所, or you are claimed or will be claimed as a dependent for income tax purposes for the last or current year, 你被认为是经济上的依赖者. 在这种情况下, 您的住所将由您的父母或法定监护人在入学期限前一年的住所确定.
相反, if you have not lived and will not live with a parent or legal guardian for more than six consecutive weeks during the present or prior year; have not received and will not receive financial assistance from parents or legal guardians of more than $750 in support of any kind including food, 服装, and shelter last year and this year; have not been claimed as an exemption on parents' or legal guardians' tax return last and this year; and have resources that are at least equal to the level of public assistance in the preceding calendar year, 您将被视为经济独立,并且您在申请新泽西州居住身份的前一年的住所将决定您的居住身份.
婚姻对居住的影响
如果你是美国人.S. citizen or permanent resident who marries a legal resident of New Jersey, you assume the domicile of that spouse for tuition purposes in the term following marriage. The same test for residency will be applied to spouses when marriage is claimed as the basis for domicile.
No change in status will occur when a legal resident student marries a nonlegal resident.
因为服兵役而出现在新泽西
一般来说, 在没有变更住所的意图的情况下, your domicile is not affected or changed by reason of your entry into the military service.
居住在新泽西州的美国军事人员及其家属在学费方面被视为该州居民.
外国人
If you’re an international student studying under a nonimmigrant status, you may be eligible to pay resident tuition upon receipt of your permanent-resident card. In addition to receipt of permanent-resident status in the United States, 您必须遵守上述“住所”的定义. 任何其他非移民外国人(H-1, E-1等)., status) will be classified as a nonresident for the assessment of tuition.
住院医生实习期 will be determined as of the first term following the admission date on the permanent-resident card. 除非在申请中附上永久居民卡的双面复印件,否则居留申请将不予受理. 如果永久居留证上的入学日期早于本学期开学日期,则可以退还学费.
仅为就读特定学院或大学而设立的住所不符合住所的定义.
难民:如果您已获得难民身份, you are not considered a permanent resident of the United States and are not eligible to pay resident tuition rates. 美国移民局签发的就业许可签证.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service does not qualify you for New Jersey resident-tuition status.
如果你在美国获得了政治庇护, you may be eligible to pay resident tuition rates effective the semester after which asylum has been granted.
申请变更居留身份
更改居住身份的请求必须在课程最后一天前不迟于四周提交给注册主任办公室. 你必须提交 新泽西州居留身份申请表, with all supporting affidavits deemed appropriate by the Registrar pursuant to N.J.A.C. 9A:5-1.1、顺序.,于申请时递交. If you qualify for resident tuition assessment based on the information supplied with your request, you will have your status changed only for the current and subsequent terms. 学费评估没有追溯性调整.
居住权上诉
关于确定居留身份的上诉必须向书记官长提出,并在不迟于身份通知之日起一个月内受理. Unresolved appeals will be forwarded to the associate vice president for enrollment. The associate vice president will respond to the appeal within 30 working days of receipt of the appeal. 这将是最后的决定.
学生的责任
You are responsible for providing relevant and accurate information upon which a residency determination can be made. 证明居留身份的责任完全在于你. 此外, it is considered your obligation to seek advice when in doubt regarding eligibility for in-state tuition assessment. If you delay or neglect to question eligibility status beyond the period specified above, 您将丧失获得居留资格评估的权利,如果您在适当的时候提出上诉,您可能会被认为符合资格.
如果你被归类为居民学生,但你在任何时候由于合法居住地的变化而成为非居民, 你必须立即通知注册官.
作为一名独立学生, you lose residency status for in-state tuition payment immediately upon abandonment of the New Jersey domicile. Assessment of nonresident tuition charges will take effect on the term following the date of abandonment.
Penalties
如果你通过故意隐瞒或虚假陈述事实而获得或试图获得居民分类, or you fail to come forward with notification upon becoming a nonresident, you will be subject to disciplinary action before the University's professional-conduct committee.
