States, the Northern Mariana Islands or the Trust Territory of the
Pacific Islands. Students must be in the United States for other than a
temporary purpose and be able to provide documentation of intent to
become permanent residents. If students are in the United States on an
F1 or F2 student status only, they are not eligible for federal student

limits on the total amount of aid students may receive and the number of
years they can receive it. It is important to know these limitations to
