<prompt> Human: Hi rpersonalfinance,So, Backstory: For the last three semesters, Ive been paying my CC tuition myself and im done. I just got my final grade for the only class im taking and it was an expected big red F. I got it because of some shit Ive been through and struggling financially.Problem: My FAFSA wasnt accepted because of something about my fathers taxes. How do I file with independent status? I live alone, finance myself 100 and my father is in another country. I am independent in every possible way.  <response>: The questionnaire at the start of the FAFSA determines your eligibility of being dependent or not. I dont think you can change that decision.
