Thank you for your reply. It makes sense that departments will not risk that I may not become a permanent resident. In case of rejection for my green card petition, I believe that I can transfer my current I-20 into my graduate school. If that happens, I will have to talk with an attorney.

Hello all, I applied to six different Statistics MS and PhD programs for this spring 2015 semester and had a question to ask. I am here in the US with a student visa and recently filed a petition to become a US Permanent Resident (Green Card holder). I expect to be done with the process by the end of this summer. I am aware that international students have somewhat less chance of admissions due to funding issues. I was wondering informing departments of my Green Card petition now would help my application or not. If it should be helpful, how should I approach this issue to departments? Thank you everyone for your help in advance.
