My son applied when he was in grad school and was technically no longer our dependent (as far as IRS is concerned). He brought a copy of his lease, some copies of grade reports (proving his student status) and a couple of other things (like utility bills, etc). He had no issue.

As I remember from my interview in early 2010 that the officer really tried to put me off balance a couple of times. I believe that if I had answered in the wrong way or indicated somehow that my answers were not truthful, I would have been bounced.
I read the reports of current interviews and they seem much easier than mine.
