Establishing Residency for Instate tuition?

Thanks again for your helps. I tried to call and ask, but got nothing. They said “just apply, and they will see.”
The fact is that when we file tax, we didn’t think about this issue. We lived separately during weekdays for work convenience. We file federal tax in NJ jointly, and NY state tax separately (NY non-resident for him, NY resident for me, but only $7,500). I was just wondering if my little income can prevent me from being accepted as NY resident for in-state tuition.
Now it comes up with another question: can I re-file tax return (amended form) and re-choose NY as the resident state?
Oops…it’s more complicated.
