拿H1 在美國進修

大家好，
. ~! q) s/ y; L我前幾個星期知道我拿到H1
我想藉此待在美國工作的時間去進修
聽說，拿H1的身份，學費是跟美國人一樣
但我也聽說，是要拿到了的一年後，才是跟美國人一樣
但我不太確定
& a! A. U* Y- \4 ?, d2 P+ X有沒有人知道這方面?
2 t8 t6 N1 O( E或，我去哪可知道這訊息哩?
謝謝唷

好像citizen才能享有local community的便宜學費吧

我本來想,

如果在加州繳 resident 的稅,

這應該的嘛.

: M2 }' ]0 p4 ?若你之前是F1-OPT的話,
就完全不是 resident 了,
或者你之前是別的身份或者別的狀況?

謝謝你唷。

The bottom line is that you are California tax payer. I did my master degree while on H1-B and paid resident fee after I held H1 over one year. Save me a lot of money :)

以H1在加州住滿一年就是加州在地居民,這是我的理解

I guess it depends on the school. For example, U.C. Davis allows H-1 to be resident:

Who is a Resident?
If you are an adult student (18 years of age or older) you may establish residence for tuition purposes in California if: (1) you are a U.S. citizen; (2) you are a permanent resident or other immigrant; or (3) you are a nonimmigrant who is not precluded from establishing a domicile in the U.S. Nonimmigrants who are not precluded from establishing a domicile in the U.S. include those who hold visas of the following types: A, E, G, H-1, H-4, I, K, L, N, NATO, O-1, O-3, R, or V. To establish residence you must be physically present in California for more than one year and you must have come here with the intent to make California your home as opposed to coming to this state to go to school. Physical presence within the state solely for educational purposes does not constitute the establishment of California residence, regardless of the length of your stay. You must demonstrate your intention to make California your home by severing your residential ties with your former state of residence and establishing those ties with California. Evidence of intent must be dated one year before the term for which you seek resident classification. If these steps are delayed, the one-year durational period will be extended until you have demonstrated both presence and intent for one full year. If your parents do not meet the University's requirements for residence for tuition purposes, you are required to be financially independent in order to be a resident for tuition purposes; see Requirement for Financial Independence, below.

稅法上的 Resident 和 移民法的 Resident 是不一樣的。
國稅局和移民局是二個完全分開的機構，他們對於 Resident 的定義也不一樣。
以前在會計師事務所的的時候，有特別注意到這個定義。

H-1 只是稅法上的 Resident，所以是不會有優惠的。
