<p>Find out from your advisor who the person is who makes the determination as to who gets in state tuiton and find out exactly what is required to get it. If you have or can get the items legally, then get them and present them to that department. I would not take the word of anyone who is reading the university requirements and following the rules as written since there may be some leeway, some changes, or they may be mistaken I’ve seen that happen too many times. </p>
<p>I agree with Sybbie that getting letters like you are contemplating will lead to nothing but trouble because you need proof and a letter from who knows who is not proof. If you worked, you need 1099s, w-2s, something and your employer could get into trouble if he does not provide them. And that is big trouble.</p>
