Income in Foreign Country
Lil bear replied to Tony Wong's topic in Tax & Finances During US Immigration
You will need to run the numbers both way to see which is best. US tax deduction for filing joint is often a big savings .. And you can claim a deduction for foreign earned income and foreign tax already paid, which ensures you aren’t double taxed. Compared to IRS and US tax regulations, USCIS and immigrating is a walk in the park 😵💫. -
Income in Foreign Country
Lil bear replied to Tony Wong's topic in Tax & Finances During US Immigration
This is a complex tax year for you. Depending on your full situation , you may need to file a “dual status” year where you only report on income earned after the date you became an lpr .. So that includes the overseas earned income from your paid vacation time after you moved Prior to that, you are not a resident for US tax purposes, so do not include income earned before that date Some people also have the option of choosing to be considered a tax resident for the whole year.. so you declare all income for that tax period .. but you haven’t given us enough info to know if that might apply to you -
I haven’t read the numbers for UK sorry .. your question is really more complex than it read in your initial post. You have to gind the answers to 1. How many days in a single financial year do you need to be resident in the UK in order to be a UK resident for tax purposes 2. How many days were you residing in UK during that period without that info we can’t answer more than the basic principle as i have responded Happy to help more but i need more data !! It’s probably quicker to do a video/phone consult with a UK accountant who would answer it a lot quicker!!
-
No. Unlike the US , most other countries do not tax income earned by citizens who are not residing in the country Thankfully !! https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income#:~:text=Whether you need to pay,'domicile') is abroad.
-
Do a thread search using appropriate key works .. And you will find members who live in GA and who are doing/have done the AOS process.

K1 visas do not get DQ status by the NVC. NVC is just the clearing house for the application .. They assign a number etc and then forward it to the Consulate.
-
Probably not. But the applicant having the job offer is !!
-
You can only interview in a country where you have legal residence or citizenship. Visitor visa does not provide either
-
Yes the EAD in hand will be required before he can work Yes .. Any Authorisation to work based on K1 would be valid only for the 90 days … And the application would not be processed before this expires anyway SSN makes it easier to do bank account, state ID, get onto health insurance etc without having to battle with agents who aren’t familiar with the process or legitimacy of applying without SSN

Next day is recommended .
-
I think there is a bit of confusing use of words such as resident residency etc in this thread 🤪
-
Proof of legal residency in the US is covered by the GC .. The state agency is looking for evidence of their address in this state. Not covered by what OP already has.
-
No .. the state requires evidence of residency in the state. Get on a mailing list for a catalog. .. its as easy as that.
-
Life insurance policies with the partner /fiancé as the beneficiary and the current surrender value of claimed. As Boiler said.. Not usually something fiancés hold on each other
-
DS 260 will reflect address changes and then it can be updated at the interview of our has changed since completing the DS 260 AR 11 is needed for address changes after the immigrant enters the US using the visa.
-
My take would be that this AR11 only becomes necessary once the NVC stage is reached. But i am confused .. what is actually being applied for ? immigrant visa which will be finalised at the home country consulate interview.. or adjustment of status ? Im thinking the first and the 601 waiver will be required because of a ban that will be incurred when B the petitioner leaves the US (unlawful presence) and the visa is initially denied. Would appreciate your clarification just so in can be sure that I’m on the right track
-
The I130 is the petitioners part. Until the case is sent to the Nvc, the address change of the beneficiary doesnt matter.. Is there beneficiary in the US or in their home country ?
-
This feels like a really loaded question … lots not said. Who applied for an I130 petition? Who is the petitioner… who is the beneficiary .. what’s the “ immediate relative” relationship ?
-
You are not hiding anything. This is the correct way of reporting your situation. My son filed for both of us (parents) and this is how he successfully completed and submitted the AOS for for each of us No RFE
-
Each AOS family number will be you+your spouse and dependents + 1 At this time you aren’t actually sponsoring anyone.. Not until the visa is granted and activated wrestled with this same question a few years ago.. same scenario
-
Huh. I had to sign mine at the registration table before the ceremony.
-
One Aussie to another .. well done !! Yes go ahead and do the N400 and be done with USCIS. The citizenship test is very “doable” with a couple of weeks of rote learning before the Interview. No doubt at all that you will pass it !!!
-
It may be the readability of the scan. Accept only means they received it into the system not that it is deemed correct
-
You were supposed to sign it in front of the agent before the ceremony. How did this not happen?
