"How long does it take to get residency at another state? Lets say I move to another state to go to school?

Question

How long will it take to not pay out of state tuiton? What if I marry someone from that state? Do I automatically get that person's residency?

Answer 1

Well, that's kind of more than one question, actually.

First, each state has their own residency requirements. They can be as little as 30 days up to much longer. Check with each state's state government websites. In some states, you can't claim residency if you move there just for school.

Second, and more importantly for school, each school has their own conditions that you have to fulfill in order to qualify for in-state tuition. These requirements are usually much longer temporally than just to be considered a resident of that state. I recently moved from Texas to New York for grad school and the requirements of my school are that I establish residency through voter registration, paying utilities, registering my car, etc, and then one year later, I can qualify for in-state tuition. That's something that you would have to find out from your school's Student Accounts department.

As far as marriage is concerned, I would think it depends on whose name the bills, lease, car, etc, are under, though I know you can claim residency based on a spouse's residency in Texas. That's also something you would have to find out from the state government and would vary state-by-state.

Answer 2

Depends on each state's residency requirements. Usually it is 6 months to a year, and usually you will have had to pay taxes or hold a job or something like that in the state first. Check with the school you want to go to, they should be able to help you figure this out.

Answer 3

It varies by state. In Nevada where I am, it's 90 days from when you get a driver's license, which has an issue date on it. In Kalifonia, it's instantaneous for illegal aliens. All they need do is steal into the country, head for the welfare office and voila!-- instant residency. Add to all this goodness and plenty is the fact that YOU get to pay for them to go to public school, go to public college at in-state tuition rates, to go to the Emergency Room at the local hospital or clinic, et cetera. YOU get to pay for them to avail themselves of our social services network.

Don't concern yourself with your case. Better you paid for illegals-- they need it more than you.

each and each and every state has diverse guidelines with regards to custody, alimony, baby help, visitation, and transportation. verify your state's guidelines and communicate it with a counselor, criminal specialist, or mediator.
