Topic: Buying a house at pending 485 not a good idea?
Buying a house in itself should not be an issue. You will probably get a good deal. But if God forbid your application does not make it, or something else comes up that requires you to leave the country, what then? Selling a house is not quite as easy anymore from what I understand. I also read somewhere that you might get a bit higher rate mortgage unless you are atleast a green card holder. Find it hard to believe.
I have the 20% down payment for a house lined up. It gonna stay safely in the bank until the green card shows up. Just my point of view.
Do not agree on this. I bought a house for 0% down (no PMI-2 loans 30 years fixed). If no GC, no visa renewal, no job, I will just let it go, the bank will take care of it! , no payment form my side.
So do the minimal down if you can and go for it |
Topic: Buying a house at pending 485 not a good idea?
I bought a 4000 sq ft house in Feb 2008, My PD is Aug 2005 EB2.
Live a life man, the moments of life once gone is gone. Waiting for GC and then buying is not a way of life.
This is my personal opinion.
I am enjoying my life with my family. I have H1B till 2010 and also hold a Canadian GC which I kept it as a backup :)
wow, 4000 Sq FT whicj state and city do you live in? I want to look for a job there? |
Topic: Big trouble in pipe line for Employment based visas. Got this from immigration-law.com's link
To address these vulnerabilities, FDNS recommended a number of enhancements to USCIS procedures for adjudicating petitions for skilled and unskilled workers, including the following.
• Perform a name and address check on the petitioner to help establish the legitimacy of the petitioner. Current USICS policy only requires record checks be done on the alien beneficiary.
• Conduct targeted site visits to verify the legitimacy and eligibility of both the petitioner and alien beneficiary including, for example, verifying the location of the employer and the employer’s ability to pay the offered wage, as well as the alien beneficiary’s credentials.
• Enable adjudicators to electronically e-mail or telephone the employer to verify that the employer filed the petition and intends to employ the alien beneficiary.
• Verify the work experience alien beneficiaries claim to have acquired outside the United States because their work experience is vital to determining their qualifications and therefore whether they are eligible for the benefit sought.
• Require the employer to notify USCIS or withdraw the petition when the position is no longer available, or when there is a change in employment. According to FDNS’s report, many of the alien Page 25 GAO-09-55
Permanent Residence Application Fraud
beneficiaries do not report to work for the employer, or the applications are for family members or friends. In these cases, the employer had no intent to hire the alien beneficiary and the beneficiary had no intent to work for the employer. According to FDNS’s report, both were using the employment petition as a vehicle for the alien beneficiary to obtain lawful permanent resident status. According to FDNS, to close this loophole, a regulatory/statutory amendment would have to be made that requires an employer to notify USCIS every time the alien beneficiary leaves employment, or when the job offer is no longer
Not this only, the more serious part is the conditional GC for 2 years and force you to continue with same employer for 2 years |
Topic: Urgent Help Needed!!!!!! IO with State Police at home today morning.
Trackitt Gurus,
Here’s my situation:
I am on a EAD Card which expires in Sept 2010.
I am currently out of employment since last month and I am in the process of interviewing with companies for a new job. When I resigned from last job, my employer suggested that I could apply for ‘Unemployment Benefits’ and I started pursuing the paperwork required for the same. I submitted the following paperwork: SSN Card, EAD Card and my Driving License as they asked for proof of residence and legal employment details.
Today morning 11/06/2008, Two(2) Immigration Officers + One(1) State Police Officer came to my house a 6.00am in the morning questioning my ‘Legal Status’ in this country. After showing them my EAD Card they mentioned that my H1-B Visa has expired. I said ‘Yes’ it is long expired and I am now on a EAD. Not convinced they gave me a Court date for Thursday next week to stand in front of a judge to explain my Legal Status.
Now What do I do?
Am I ‘Out of Status’ with my valid EAD Card, which expires on Sept 2010?
How do I convince the Judge?
Please Help me as this is could possibly lead to me being deported.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
hi, see the link below which is proposed by
http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d0955.pdf
check on the pages between 29 and 30 ; may be for some reason they picked up your case and good to see everything went fine for you.
But I believe this is coming near future; it is proposed but not much studied by law makers as some of the changes need law changes so it may take a while. Meantime USCIS can run test run like your case.
Wow. This report is scary and means that life is going to get only harder and tougher |
Topic: Getting ITIN for parents visiting
no. this only apply to us citizens, not even gc holders.
Excuse me????????
What is your problem with this?
The only people required to pay US TAX on earnings from sources OUTSIDE the United States are US citizens, even GC are not required. This is the US taxation law, wither you like it or not. |
Topic: Getting ITIN for parents visiting
I must honestly say that I get very annoyed at the many ways that persons try to beat the system and are so bold with it. It is always best to do things honorably, transparently and legally. You will never have anything to fear when you do it that way.
i am not sure what you are talking about, the guy is trying to find a legal way to write off his taxes, nothing wrong with this as long as he goes by the regulations. Your comment and similar comments has no merit.If the law gives him a break he should use it period. |
Topic: Getting ITIN for parents visiting
If Parents are considered resident for tax purposes after 180 days does that mean their income globally is taxable aswell?
no. this only apply to us citizens, not even gc holders. |
Topic: Can a petitioner request revocation of Green Card after a quarrel?
Nobody can take away your GC once approved except when it was acquired through fraud.
If there is no fraud then you have nothing to worry.
concur |
Topic: Parents Visit - After getting Green Card
AIG, they have an international traveller insurance program ~150$/month, the cheapest, no exam, nothing, need to buy it before entering the US
Not an insurance forum, but the question is warranted |
