  1. We talked to an insurance company and they had no problem providing the insurance
  2. On a related note, does anyone know what the tax implications are of living in a state for 1 week?
  3. My wife is able to renew her previous MA drivers license online since it only recently expired. So am I understanding correctly that what you're saying is that you assume she will have to do that and establish "permanent" address at her mom's house to buy the car/insurance?
  4. Okay so both my US wife and I are thoroughly confused about how the system for establishing residence in a state works in the US, and how often you are supposed to do this. Take our upcoming scenario: 1. We fly from Denmark to Massachusetts on April 1, at which point I immigrate to the US. 2. We visit my mother-in-law in Massachusetts for a week. 3. We buy a car in Massachusetts while visiting there (technically we are arranging to buy it before we arrive). 4. We then drive that car to a friend's house in Texas, which will become our permanent residence when we get there (and where I will have my Green Card sent) until we find a house of our own. QUESTION: In order to buy the car and get it insured for the road trip to Texas, will we need to establish permanent residence in Massachusetts for a week, and then establish a new permanent residence again in Texas when we arrive a week or so later? Any input is greatly appreciated since we are thoroughly confused.
  5. Thank you so much for the response! I definitely think I do get access to those forms from the broker. I just am not sure how the IRS calculates gains/losses when the stock was purchased before becoming a US resident. If anyone has been able to find a reference or has experience with this please share :)
  6. Hi all. I have what I thought was a fairly straight forward question that I simply cannot find an answer to. I am currently in Denmark but moving to the US in April. I currently own a handful of stocks. With the way the stock market has been behaving lately, these investments are all sitting at net losses. My hope was that they would get near break even before immigrating, so I could just get rid of them and move with a clean slate. However, that is now looking highly unlikely. My question is: Does anyone know (or can link to a resource on) how the US/IRS treats loss-giving stocks that were owned before moving to the country? Would they be treated as having the original cost basis, the current cost basis on the date of immigration, or something else? If anyone has any info to share at all (do’s or don’ts) that would be highly appreciated!
  7. I have a question for those of you already in the States. To get started looking for apartments, we will be living in a month-long AirBnB when we first arrive in Texas from overseas. For a plethora of reasons, we would like to establish official residence status in TX while living in the AirBnB immediately, since it might take a month or two to find the right apartment. Does anyone know how to establish this residence when effectively living in temporary housing? The utility bills etc. for an AirBnB obviously wont have our names on it. And I am unsure whether I can set up bank accounts and get a drivers license etc. based on a temporary address. Any tips on the fastest way to get properly registered as a resident?
  8. Indeed! Fingers crossed. I have seen 2 cases in March get booked, and also 2 cases in March that are not yet booked. So it should be pretty accurate that invites are currently up to around the very beginning of March DQ in this batch.
  9. Yeah since my post I have seen multiple examples from March!
  10. The latest DQ I have seen scheduled for CR1/IR1 interview is now January 2021. Anyone here seen any more recent ones? K-1 meanwhile seems to be fully back up to speed.
  11. I am sorry - I was not aware that there was a difference between K and CR/IR regarding this requirement? From the text you linked it certainly seems like it. I was referring to the requirements for CR/IR:
  12. Yeah. Just countries where you lived for at least 1 yeah. I lived in Australia for 11.5 months and did not need a certificate.
  13. Not that I don't hope so too, but I am not sure why that would be the case. Am I missing the connection?
