This includes the right to live, work and study anywhere in the United States.<br \/>\nHowever, the right to study in the United States does not automatically translate to being able to access resident tuition rates.

Some states will have further specifications; for example, the state of California also requires the prospective student to plan to live as a legal resident in California for a minimum of one year after graduation in order to qualify for in-state tuition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"faq-topic":[178],"class_list":["post-179489","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq-topic-family-member-treatment"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eb5visainvestments.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq\/179489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eb5visainvestments.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eb5visainvestments.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eb5visainvestments.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq\/179489\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eb5visainvestments.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eb5visainvestments.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-topic?post=179489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
