Our family is currently applying for the C permit (fast track). For some context: Canton Vaud Parents currently on working B permits (they own a business here), my sister is in a local school and I’m studying at EPFL From third country No criminal records Been living here for 6 years Sent in our application in January. I’m currently a full time student at EPFL. However, I’m not really liking it here. Particularly my course, it’s not something I’m interested in doing but it’s all what they offer. There is a course in the US that I am really interested in (no university here offers it I’ve looked) and feel like it really suits me, and I’ve already received an offer from the university. Therefore, since I will be going to the US next year starting from September, am I allowed to drop out now? Staying in the course really doesn’t do anything for me since it’s completely different to what I’ll be doing next year, and I’d much rather spend the time on picking up some new skills. Am I legally allowed to drop out now? Since I’m financially dependent, I’m required to be in education for the C permit. I was still enrolled at EPFL at the time we sent in our application for the C permit (and we’ve submitted the proof for that). If I drop out now, I’d no longer be in education. So is it ‘in education at the time of application or at the time of decision’? Will they check or ask me to re-submit a proof of enrollment during the next couple of months? Also, I won’t be here starting from September, I’d be moving to the US. And our C permit decision is likely to come out in November to December (therefore, I’m also freezing my B permit for a month or two). In other words, I’d have to drop out of EPFL anyways before July. So does it matter if I drop out 3 months in advance? By the way, I am planning on coming back for postgraduate studies. And my whole family will continue to live here while I’m gone, and I’m planning to come back here almost every holiday. If I don’t get my C permit, there’s literally nowhere else on the planet for me to go. So this is extremely important for me. Thanks for reading all that and helping, I really appreciate it! submitted by /u/Ellipse0662
