Problem / Issue

Mitch Leahy of SRJC brought an issue forward that is creating problems for their Admissions office regarding Visa types that SHOULD be used for residency eligibility but are currently NOT.  These visa types now support residency across the system:

After chatting with Mitch there is one required change, and one big bug that was discovered in our Application logic.

Required Change:  New visa types have been added that are eligible for residency determination. Add these to the logic that calculates residency against visa types. 

Warning

BUG:  Currently our application identifies and specifies which visa types are "eligible for residency"

  

and though our documentation is correct, the application is bugging and not displaying the Residency page for many of the visa types it should.  While fixing the problems we will also add the new visa types that are also eligible for residency determination. 



Proposed Solution

Update the visa types table in the Standard App that have been deemed eligible for residency determination (see are new or missing from the types that are eligible for residency determination. 

Note:  Visa types that are eligible to establish residency, trigger Integrity Flag 51.  These additional visa types should do that too.

Per the CACCRAO-Residency_Overview_Document_2017_FINAL.pdf - the following visa types ARE ELIGIBLE for residency determination and should be included in the existing residency logic (Per Area A residency logic and Table F: Visa Types step ):

  • E-2C
  • SIV - Special Immigrant Visa
  • T6

Mitch's post in the College Support Site: Visa types not allows students to answer California residency questions


Program Change Request:

When a visa type is a visa type that allows a student to establish residence (Integrity Flag = 51) the application is not asking the Residency page questions. (See below: Notes for CA Resident For Two Years.)

This occurred a few years ago when students entered Other and No Documents. The student would come in with their USCIS documentation and we couldn’t just supplement the application because they had not answered the Residency page questions. It was requested that the student always be asked the Residency page questions and the program was updated. (See below: Notes for No Documents)

For all students, no matter what their citizenship status is, we always need the Residency page questions to be answered so that when a student brings proof of their citizenship/visa type we can just supplement their application with their citizenship/visa USCIS documentation. A sample visa type to test in CCCApply is "H-1"
