  1. Yes. Any time you were in the US physically is counted for SPT. Even if on ESTA. Even on tourist visa. Even if without legal status.
  2. Work is illegal under ESTA. It doesn't matter where income was made. If OP is a tax resident in the US, tax will be paid on worldwide income. Yes, tourists who spend too much time in the US routinely become tax residents in the US even if they never work in the US and make money elsewhere.
  3. No... Not zero. You will be considered a United States resident for tax purposes if you meet the substantial presence test for the calendar year. To meet this test, you must be physically present in the United States (U.S.) on at least: 31 days during the current year, and 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the 2 years immediately before that, counting: All the days you were present in the current year, and 1/3 of the days you were present in the first year before the current year, and 1/6 of the days you were present in the second year before the current year.

  4. I think I understand what @Brent and Hayley said now The interview was scheduled on 02/03 for some future date that is in few weeks from now.
  5. I imagine this would become relevant at K-1 interview. Evidence you're planning to support your claims seems sufficient.
  6. Based on what OP is saying, he downloaded app provided by embassy, but it's asking for proof of a valid status in the US, such as green card.
  7. Only an unverified rumour, but I heard this question exists for a reason. If anytime in the future US needs to denaturalize somebody, this question and answers to it could be used as a convenient pretext. Remember, Al Capone served his time for tax evation and not the insane crimes that were committed including murders.
  8. You can safely ignore Andrew's channel. He's catering for multimillionaires (10M+). Typically this is when taxation becomes a real issue. I was thinking maybe that's why you're seeking to renounce.
  9. Silly question. How is UK taxation system related to your life in Spain? If you live in Spain full time, you're not a UK resident for tax purposes and don't owe any taxes there? And in this case, why do you need to bank in the UK, wouldn't be easier to bank locally?
  10. Nah, I'm European but I think the best format is Japanese... Year, month, date 😃
  11. You mean 03/02? Because 02/03 is already behind us.
  12. No quick way. Employment visas, green card lottery are the options.
  13. AFAIK this should be OK then. But others can correct me.
  14. Yes, but you need to check these answers too... https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/check-for-test-updates
  15. US LPR is a always a tax resident for the purposes of IRS. Why is the spending so much time outside of the US? Does she have reentry permit? She may lose GC if she doesn't have reentry permit or loses ties to the US.
  16. That's true. I was addressing my message to overwhelming majority who do not get waivers. Of course the people who need waivers won't be completing vaccinations.
  17. Hi everybody, Does anybody know whether it's possibile to get the first time passport as a large book as well as passport card when applying through passport agency? I may have a business trip that may come shortly after interview / oath and would need to get the passport ASAP. Thank you
  18. Was oath scheduled according to online status? If your N-400 isn't approved yet (verbal approvals are not legally binding), you can sue USCIS for decision 120 days after interview.
  19. This sounds like a better plan. You cannot successfully sponsor anybody unless you have US domicile and enough provable income for USCIS.
  20. I wouldn't think H-1B would be this quick to get... Which other you have in your mind? L-1?
  21. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail
  22. It doesn't make sense since not both names are on credit card statements. Other bank statements are way more useful.
  23. Some observations: 1) Questions are picked at random, but not random enough. I found it useful to say "Pick very random questions. I'm ready". 2) Occasionally GPT gets into "nazi" mode (e.g. very strict) and treats short answers as incorrect, when they're allowed. For example, who is current vice president. I say "Vance" and it replies "Incorrect, it's J.D. Vance". 3) There's some limit of how many conversations you can have per hour.
