I have a couple of situations I could use your help in deciding.  The
"presumption" clause for overcoming the assumption the person is not in the
state solely for the purpose of  attending school get confusing for me.  And
then when I add dependency issues...!
Person #1 is dependent on her parents who live in Nigeria.  Mother has US
citizenship as does this student.  Student has been living in WA since
August of 1997 and can show proof of living arrangements.  The student
immediately obtained a WA ID card (8/97) and later a driver's licence
(10/98) and opened bank accounts (8/97).  The student does not own a
vehicle, has worked only a few weeks since living in the state.  The student
registered for school fall 97, winter, spring fall of '98 but didn't (in all
quarters) complete the term.
Has the person overcome the presumption with the living arrangement, bank
accounts and driver's license?
Person #2 can show bank statements (Nov. 97), living arrangements (beginning
Nov. 27) and a 1997 W-2 form (did not earn enough to file taxes).  But the
person didn't get a WA state driver's license until October of 98.  The
person is requesting residency as an independent.  Parents who are out of
state did not claim the student on 97 taxes or plan to for 98.  However, the
student does not yet have 98 W-2s to show or can't prove how much income has
been earned this year (but isn't sure it was $6000.) 
What's your take?
