<p>OP, we went through this process to get in-state tuition at UT-Austin for my OOS son in 2011 (we are American citizens, though). They have tightened up the rules since then.</p>
<p>NONE OF US can answer the question for you. Whatever the residency people at the school tells you is what governs. I used to call the school and ask for the residency person (I can’t remember her name, and it could be somebody different by this point). I was impressed with the lady I spoke to - she was NOT trying to put up roadblocks. I asked lots of questions. Then I typed up her answers in an email and sent it IMMEDIATELY to her with the statement, “If any of these items are not correct, please contact me as soon as possible.”</p>
<p>Again, I think you are wasting your time by asking people on a website questions that only the school can answer. And asking the same questions repeatedly won’t make a difference, either.</p>
