<p>Both cases that I know of were US citizens, parents with a kid going to Mich. Kind of similar stories. </p>
<p>First case, the son got accepted (only child), the father got a new job in Michigan, and he was definitely there throughout the summer, working and renting; wife stayed behind arranging the move, family moved in the fall (bought new house), and the kid was considered in-state for his sophomore year. </p>
<p>Second case, two kids, oldest accepted to Mich, youngest in jr high. Parents moved to Michigan in the summer (father transferred jobs, same employer), bought new house before the summer was over, younger daughter enrolled in new MI middle school). Father was irritated because he couldn’t swing in-state tuition for the son’s freshman year, but once again, there were no problems with in-state for sophomore year.</p>
<p>So it looks to me that a one year waiting period can be expected in MI. Both of these kids qualified in their second year. But note that neither of these were sham relocations, but both were motivated in part by the tuition.</p>
