Family moved June 96 from El Paso, TX, up here due to father's transfer as a US customs agent to Vancouver BC airport. He changed his driver's license and vehicle reg to Wash last June and got a Blaine PO Box, BUT---the family has lived in Surrey, BC, right over the line, since June. Seems to me that since the first rule of gaining residency is physical presence for 12 consecutive months, she's not qualified. But on the other hand, if a federal employee without a home state is moved to, say, Germany and does the paperwork to establish Wash as his legal residence . . . How would you rule?
