Here is a list of what they want to prove
you are a resident in Nevada. My comments are in a teal
color.
A "nonresident" student who is a
citizen or national of the United States may qualify for reclassification as a
"resident" student if clear and convincing evidence is presented that
he or she has been living continuously in the State of Nevada for a period of at
least twelve (12) months with the intention of making Nevada his or her true,
fixed, and permanent home.
The following may be considered when
reviewing an application:
A. continuous presence in Nevada for 12
months when not enrolled as a student;
B. permanent full-time employment (or the
hourly equivalent) in Nevada for 12 months immediately prior to application; (I
do not have a full time job...Of course I don't want to work full time for a
year before going to college.)
C. conducting a business in Nevada; (I
don't own a business)
D. admission to a licensed practicing
profession in Nevada; (I am not licensed for anything in
the state of Nevada.)
E. registration or payments of taxes or
fees on a motor vehicle, mobile home, boat, or other personal property for which
the state requires the payment of a tax or fee, for the 12 month period prior to
application; (I do not own a car, mobile home, boat or any
other personal property, neither does my husband.)
F. ownership, alone or with a spouse, of a
home in Nevada; (I do not own a home)
G. address listed on a federal income tax
return for calendar year immediately prior to application; (I
won't be filling taxes this year since I wasn't employed, but last years taxes
were from Ohio.)
H. address listed on selective service
registration; (I'm female, so this doesn't even count for
me or I would do it)
I. active membership in professional,
business, civic, social or other organizations located in Nevada; (I'd
have to join some group and not go to college for a year.)
J. maintaining active savings and checking
accounts in Nevada for at least 12 months prior to application; (I
do not have a checking or savings account.)
K. any other factor which would show an
intent to abandon residence in any other state and to establish a Nevada
residence.
The following factors standing alone are
not sufficient evidence:
A. voting or registering to vote in Nevada;
B. employment in any position normally
filled by an undergraduate student;
C. lease of living quarters in Nevada;
D. residence in Nevada of spouse or
children;
E. possession of a Nevada drivers license.
C and E are usually enough
proof to show in most states...but even at that I would have to wait till next
year to go to college.)
