Whether a family on a work visa can ever pay the resident rate in Arizona — the governing rule, the H-4 and F-1 answers, the waiting clock, and any high-school-attendance path. The residency officer is always the final authority; this page gets you to the right one with the right citation.
The research could not settle this state’s answer, so this page will not assert one. What is known, and what would settle it, is below — the citation still points at the authoritative text.
Statewide: A.R.S. §15-1802/-1803 + ABOR Policy 4-203 (appeals 4-205); campus residency offices apply.
Prop 308 (2022), A.R.S. §15-1803(B) — 2+ yrs AZ high school + AZ graduation, irrespective of immigration status — rescues H-4 kids whatever the domicile answer. Aug 2025 AZ AG opinion I25-006 touches Prop 308 — unreviewed.
Covers visa-holder kids: yes.
A.R.S. §15-1802; §15-1803(B); ABOR ch.4.
Re-verification note: HIGHEST-PRIORITY RE-CHECK: open the ASU and UA visa tables and resolve the H-1B/H-4 rows; one excerpt grouped them ineligible, which would be anomalous next to eligible L-1/L-2.
