My home is in Michigan, then joined a job agency that put me in Chicago for a 2 year work assignment. Is this a temporary move, or do I file for Chicago part-residency?
Hello, I read up a lot about part-residency, nonresidency, and reciprocal agreements.

I have a home in Michigan, it is my family's permanent residence, and where I lived. I then joined a job agency, and got a work assignment placing me in Illinois for 2 years. My older brother still lives in our home, but my parents are also working in Illinois on a 3 year job contract, but will return to Michigan when it's done.
I did not intend to move to Illinois, but intend to work here for 2 years then return to my home in Michigan to look for a new job. I still use the bank accounts that I opened in Michigan, and still have active Michigan State ID, Michigan Driver's License, the car I drove is also still registered to Michigan, and I am paying rent at an apartment here in Chicago, etc.
But since the job assignment is over 1 year long, should I consider myself to have moved to Illinois, and thus file for part-residency for Illinois? I will probably get a dentist here soon, and maybe register to vote here if I do not decide to mail in vote to Michigan to try to be able to "prove" my move to IL is temporary.
Or should I file non-resident for Illinois since I did not intend to move here "permanently", even though the job assignment is over 1 year?
Thanks in advance!
