What date is used to determine if a permanent resident is eligible for in-state tuition?
Which date is used as the basis for eligiblity for non-resident status at colleges:
1) The USCIS reciept date (earlier date), or
2) The USCIS Green Card Issue Date (later date)
After applying to several schools, most schools say it is #1, one school actually changed the status to nonresident, and one school stubbornly insists that it is #2 above. This happens to be the first pick of colleges, so we need to clear the residency hurdle and get instate tuition.
5 stars and best answer to the first person to show me the actual CA state or federal law that says it’s #1 above and not #2 above.
Thank you.

I don’t think anyone here can answer your question as a given. You will have to abide by what the school you go to determines as your residency.
Good luck!
