Does anybody know if a student who is on a "recommended for approval status" is eligible for FAFSA financial aid at school or not?
I wonder if it is considered public assistance eventhough you have to pay for the loan. Is not a Grant or any thing like that. Reason I ask i because you have to specify any "Public Assistance" in part 3 of the I-485.

No.
The FAFSA application processor automatically matches your alien number against the DHS list of eligible aliens. For people with pending asylum cases (recommended approvals are still pending cases) the matching result will come back negative.
The good news is that he will be eligible as soon as the approval is final.
I got an update on my fafsa and it says that the department of homeland security didn't have enough information to confirm that I'm an elegible non-citizen. I got granted asylum last April! I contacted the financial aid office of my school and she didn't have any clue... I left I message with the director I don't have an I-94 stamped with "asylum granted" since I came here first with a tourist visa, but that is what the website says you have to show. I just got the final document of approval from the immigration judge. Has anyone been in a similar situation??
What is the exact message on the FAFSA output document?
Typically if the first electronic match is not succcessful, there will be a second one against more DHS data.
Was this the first or second match attempt?
What was the letter code on your SAR report?
Ok. So its simple. Just go to the Financial Aid Office of your school, show them whatever immigration doucments you have and they will copy them and if you are elegible they will update their records and grant the aid.
i started to get my financial aid as soon as i got my asylee status. Now i have gc and its all going fine. as long as you got necessary documents you shouldnt have any problem
