  1. Any earnings I make I report, even if reasonably undetectable, and online retailers charge California sales taxes.

    No pedestal, as I stated that each can do what they want as far as lying, merely stating why I don't. I do have a problem with people choosing to blame others for the consequences of their actions however.

    Hey same here! So there are some real honest Americans out here after all!

    Amen!

    Same here!! So you are the other guy paying those taxes along with me? I knew there must be at least a few Americans that are honest and pay their taxes.

    God Bless America

    California enacted the law in 2011, so I guess no purchases were made before then.

    My only point was that one should not preach morality to others unless they are blameless, but I see now a couple of individuals that are Jesus reincarnated.........EOM

  2. Suit yourself. Personally, I would never advise anyone to lie in this process, no matter what it is about. It's the mindset really. If you can get by with one lie, as petty as it may seem, then you create a mindset where you can get by with things in life. And someday, that will catch up with you. I would prefer to always come clean with the government no matter what it is.

    Let me guess, you claim all taxable income to the IRS. You report income from personal property sales or any income from services performed, etc? I bet you have always paid your state sales tax for online purchases too.

    You can get off your pedestal if you answered no to any of the above........................

  3. Any June AOS filers adjusting from K1 visa here? Filed in late June, received my EAD combo card but still no update on the AOS...I guess I'm in the interview waiver line? Anyone else still yet to get any AOS updates? or recieved the interview waiver letter?

    Filed June 6, still in acceptance phase. Looking at other people's timelines here, I would say this months away.

  4. I agree. If you need the SSN right away for work or anything else, go ahead and have her apply with maiden name. We had the same thing happen to us. The person just does a search in the system and the new last name does not appear. We had to wait for EAD card before going back.

  5. you could go back to the same SSA office,

    the next day

    and get the # (not the card) .

    It's also good to go, that next day, as

    you'll learn of any problems from the day before.

    Hmmm.....

    We applied today for SSN. The paper she gave us stated it may take 4 weeks as they will have to check all immigration paperwork to ensure all is correct. We asked if we could get the number before the card and she told us that we would probably get the card before her office even got the number. Is she just ignorant, lazy, or have things changed?

    No green card mind you. Just the EAD

  6. LOL, I do get tickled all the time when she gets he and she mixed up. She also corrects my Tagalog saying I am using words in the wrong context.

    We are learning to drive now. It is amusing to say the least.

  7. Claire uses the term too much to mean many or a lot.

    She was watching my father can tomatoes the other day and she saw many of them in the boiling water and she said "that's too much". He looked at her like I know what I am doing. I had to explain that she wasn't telling him he was doing it wrong, just that it is was a lot of tomatoes. :))

  8. It doesn't work for K-1. You will have to go to a SSA office to apply for one. Some employees will let you apply with your married name, but some won't because that's not the name that match the DHS infos (you are in their system with the name on your K-1). Best is to apply now, before marriage. What is important is to get a SSN, this number will then never change. You can go back to update your SS card later, when you get your EAD/green card (file AOS and EAD paperwork with your married name, if that's the one you want to use).

    I agree to apply now. You will need it for work and other things. you can always change the name. We waited till after we were married and the SS employee told us the name was not in the system. Now we have to wait for AOS. I can't even make her beneficiary of my 401K until we have it.

  10. This might change the first time you bring her to all you can eat crab legs... My wife can pit fown more crab than i can, its amazing to watch. Her othet favorite is T-bone steaks. She can eat $30 worth of steak from the butcher, suvks the bone dry.. I know I'm good on the grill and maraming masarap, but holy cow. Good thing I buy 1/2 cows from my friend... But, I love it and life is good.

    Same here. Clariz's favorite after she got here was grilled steak. She had snow crab legs this past weekend, now it is her favorite. Steak and crab legs this weekend it looks to be..........

  11. See is happy because we have a garden she enjoys tending to. She cannot wait for the fresh vegetables. I had to put her up a clothes line. She is always trying to conserve energy. It is difficult for me to explain that leaving the ceiling fans on actually conserves more because the a/c does not run as much. I did have to teach her to use the thermostat instead of turning the a/c off. I come home from working and it was 85F inside. I don't need it too cool, but th at is not comfortable. I usually leave 78-80F.

    We cannot find her deodorant brand here. She will have to find a comparable brand here I guess.
