Petition for Residency, please help

One of the IS schools that I applied to is requiring me to petition for residency because my parents are residents of another state and I am a dependent on their taxes. I have lived here for over 12 years, almost the entirety of my education, and I have no desire to leave in the near future.

They told me that I should provide as much information as possible with my petition to increase the chances that they can overlook this fact and consider me a resident. Does anyone have any ideas?

What I am supplying so far:

driver's license
vehicle registration
undergraduate billing history (proof of IS tuition)
anything else I can get my hands on

This petition may or may not influence my admission decision, and it will certainly determine whether I pay $25k or $40k for tuition upon acceptance.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Proof of housing IS will be helpful (rent paid), utility billing statements, in state employment documentation, voter registration, etc.

Here is a list of documents that can help prove your state residency (this particular site is for proving Indiana state residency, but I believe roughly the same documents would apply to your state). I'd suggest you gather as many of these documents as you can to cover your bases.
