<human>: I moved to NC a little more than a year ago. I have held a single job consistently through the year I have been here, as well as a couple jobs i signed onto over the summer. I have an established residence I have maintained for almost 18 months, and have replaced my drivers license.

I'm not sure what else there is I can do. I don't own a car that I can register to the state, but I pay taxes from income etc. The email i received sounded something like "We see you have lived here for a year, but you don't live here. I packed up all my belongings and came here. I don't know how much more here I can be. There was also something to the tune of it being my burden to prove that I intend to stay here. How in the hell does someone prove that? It sounds like someone just on a whim decided not to let me through.

I'm sorry about the wall of text. this is a fresh wound and it's got me rattled. I'm just looking for general advice. What should I include in my appeal? Is there some legal precedent i should know or could pursue? I can't help but feel like my financial and educational future were made on a whim, or some undefinable premise.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I got denied residency after fulfilling all the requirements. I need to know what to do for my appeal/ any further steps. Please help, and thank you.
