This should be a lot easier for her than for someone who moved to the UK to work at what might be called a 'permanent' job, as opposed to a contract job or company rotation expected to last only a few years. Or for someone who moved to the UK to live with and be supported by their spouse. Such people would have a more difficult time showing that the move was only temporary, but for a young student it should be fairly easy to show that domicile remained in the USA.

The residence requirement for DCF isn't about primary residence either, it requires that the petitioner have been present in country with appropriate status for 6 months or more.

I agree with you on your point I was just pointing out where I got that quote from.

Also didn't know the Principle/principal difference. Really got to sort my spelling out...
