I have received a residency application for a student who is never been 
employed in Washington an lives on a $49,993.37 loan from her parents (who
reside in Wisconsin)established August 26, 1996.  Her application include 
a promissory note signed by the student which indicates an interest rate 
and ten year payment schedule.  They do not claim her as a dependent for tax 
purpose.

In my view she is considered a dependent since she is not responsible for 
the majority of her support.  She argues that the loan is not the same as 
financial assistance in cash or in kind.  

I've searched the resdiency handbook for language to support my denial.  
Any suggestions?

Thanks and Happy New Year
