| I don't know the exact requirements for residency status in California, but I would think that just having a job here doesn't really count. You should also apply for a driver license or a California ID card. Once you are 18, if you aren't already, register to vote in California. If your dad is serious about making CA his permanent residence, he should do the same things as soon as you move here.
In some states (Utah and Washington come to mind) it only takes 1 year of living here, plus registering to vote and getting a driver license (and registering vehicles), to gain full residency status for college. |
