If I am moving to Ohio to attend OSU as a graduate student and will be on a fellowship or assistantship, does my spouse qualify for C(3), “instant residency?
No. To be eligible for instant residency, a student must be dependent upon a spouse or parent who has full-time employment in Ohio. A graduate fellowship or assistantship is not considered full-time employment. The student could apply for regular residency once s/he lived in Ohio for 12 months. At that time, the income earned by the spouse through a fellowship or assistantship would be considered eligible income (if earned in Ohio).
