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:
Proposed Solution
Update the Visa Types table to identify new or missing visa types that ARE eligible for residency determination (Integrity Flag 51).
Per the CACCRAO 2017 Residency Questionnaire - the following visa types ARE eligible for residency determination and should be included in the existing residency logic ( Patty to find the specific logic area and step ):

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"
