I know that in order to send my household (up to 20k) and vehicule tax free I must have established residency. Now my question is: Is it possible to request the residence while you still in the states and get the residence? This way storage fees does not pile up while you wait. Do I have to be there physically in order to request and for how long? or can I request put in the papers and travel back and wait for approval and then sent my goods?
I know some people have done it and would appreciate good info.
