<p>I moved to CA when I was 20 with every intention of staying. I got a CA drivers license within 6 months( probably sooner). I did not switch my bank because its Bank of America, and there's no need to because they're everywhere. They have my CA address though. I don't have a car to transfer the title or insurance. I didn't move here just to attend school, but started going to school when I was 22. I'll be 24 next year and I'm worried UCSD won't recognize my intent. But the truth is, I was never thinking about establishing residency, because I wasn't intending on attending school. It just kinda happened. I don't have a lease, I live with my boyfriend and the place is in his name. Bills are in his name. (He's from here, does that help my case?) I am registered to vote here, but I just registered for the first time in my life, was never registered in any other state. I've never gone home during the summer.
I am wondering if anyone has gone through this and how hard it is to prove "intent". </p>
<p>Here's what the site says:
Indications of your intent to make California your permanent residence include:</p>
<pre><code>* California driver's license or a California ID Card
* Voter registration card or affidavit from Registrar of Voters
* California-based bank accounts or CA branches based in other states
* California car registration and car insurance card
* Paying California income taxes as a resident, including taxes on income earned outside California
* Housing contracts, monthly rental agreements, lease or proof of property ownership
* Credit and memberships with California merchants, religious affiliations, clubs, gyms
* Proof of your belongings moved into California such as moving van, bill of lading
* Proof of utilities established in your name such as phone, gas, electric, and cable TV
* Designating California as your permanent address on all school, employment, and/or military records

<p>Basically, I three of these listed. But nothing in other states. Is that enough?</p>
