Tuitions & in-state resident

I have the question regarding tuition & in-state resident:
I used to work in the U.S. and paid the tax to the state government for more than three years, and went back to my home country for about one year afterward.
I am wondering am I qualified to be an in-state resident for the cheaper tuitions if I get accepted to the LL.M. or what about JD program respectively in that state where I used to live?

Thank you very much for your answers in advance.

Unlikely, but it will depend on the state. Usually state schools are pretty strict. I am assuming you are not a permanent resident or citizen of the USA however.

Some schools will consider you an instate student if you are a research assistant for a prof or teaching assistant, however; check into that possibility to save yourself some $$$.
