    Johnnie and Aicecream, congratulations to both of you for the jobs!

    After sitting there gathering dust for 3 months, our AOS was touched today. Whether it is an RFE, our approval, or just someone picking up some reading material for his or her morning constitutional remains to be seen. At least it lets me know our package still physically exists.

    my case was touched today as well... maybe its about time we hear some good news about those cases transferred to CSC. :unsure:

    Tax deductions on the paycheck

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    My first paycheck was for 1 weeks work, and I had 13% deductions in taxes.

    My next paycheck was for 2 weeks work and I had 21% deductions in taxes.

    I have no idea why this is. The only thing that changed was that I got 2 weeks pay at once as I'm on fortnightly pay. Do you get taxed extra for fortnightly pay?

    That would be crazy if true.

    The average for federal, Social security and Medicare withholding is 23%.

    Check HERE for a pretty cool little site. :thumbs:

    nice site karin and otto :-)

    i'll try it again when i get my next pay check. i wanna know if it comes up with a pretty accurate tax calculation :-)

    OK. went to SS office. Handed them old ssn card, passport, marriage certificate and EAD card. They processed it all fine but then said I have to wait 2-3 weeks whilst they confirm my name change with immigration. EEEERRRRM. doesn't my k1 with photo and maiden name then ead with photo and married name plus marriage certificate already confirm!!!!!! :wacko:

    don't worry. you'll have your card by next week. i think they tell people the maximum turnaround time so we dont call and bother them after a week..hehehe. i was also told i'll get it after 2-3weeks but i found it in the mail after 5 days.

    hi everyone!

    i got two questions. someone might have asked these questions before but i cant find the topic.

    i'd appreciate it if someone can explain these to me.

    thank you.

    1. Since our AOS application is pending and if we are asked "are you a legal resident of USA", can we say YES even without the GC?

    im asking because i'm filing up the online application for a driver's license and the first quetsion is "are you a legal resident of Florida"

    2. are spouses adjusting from a K1 visa considered immigrants or non-immigrants?

    thanks again. :-)

    1. No, you're not legal until you have your EAD with SSN or GC. (depends what docs the State asks for)

    2. Inmigrants

    Thanks Johnnie!

    i have my ead and ssn. im going to dmv tomorrow :-)

    called uscis again today to check on my case. i was expecting them to say the same BS but i called anyway hoping they'll say something relevant to my case....

    the agent asked me some protocol questions and when it got to receipt #s she said she cant see them on the system. i said, "could that be why i cant see them online?". she then said only the supervisor could help me at this point. so she transferred the call. after few verification questions, the officer asked why i was calling today. i asked why i cant see my cases online (i knew he'd say something like "pls allow time" or "there's a glich"). sure enough he said there's a glich. hahahaha. then i went on to ask if he can see the last activity on the case. i said politely, "i know the case is pending but i was just wondering if you can see specific actions taken like a RFE being mailed or if the case is tranferred to california service center." he said, "pending means pending. it means its being worked on. and FYI, NO CASE FROM CHICAGO IS TRANSFERRED TO CALIFORNIA EVER."

    i told myself that this guy does not know what he's saying and its time to hung up.

    its funny how he said introduced himself as an immigration officer and yet he doesnt know what he's talking about. "no case from chicago is transferred to california ever"..... haha, whatever officer, you're clueless.

    Anyone have any news?

    can't view my case online so i called uscis today. the agent transferred my call to his supervisor without me asking for one. unfortunately, the supervisor told me things i already knew such as the date when they received the case and when i had my biometrics. i told him that i wouldnt be calling only if i can view my case online. he said, "try again later. don't worry. i see that your case is pending."

    sigh.....
