Because my daughter has the same situation. Holding H4 right now, wants to apply UCLA. I asked UVLA undergraduage admission officer in person, they told me as soon as the student changes the visa type to F1, no matter which visa type parents have(H or L or K....), should pay international student tuition.
從H-4轉成F-1後還能繼續享受州內學費嘛?
-Yes, the qualification of the kid 享受州內學費 depends on the parents (they pay the state tax, etc.), not the kid's status.
