    CGFNS who has been through this ????

    in Finding Work in America

    Posted

    i'm not sure i am posting this in the rite section on the board

    Mod. if i'm screwing up please move it to the rite place.....thanks

    My wife is fron the Philippines & she is a nurse there

    i went down to the BON (board of nursing)in my state & they tell me that they want her to do the CGFNS

    do we have any other foreign nurses here that have already been through this process???

    my wife has a BSN in nursing & is taking the national nursing exam in July there in the PI

    she missed it last time by 1% but due to the fact that she hasn't been in school for 6 years i thought she did quite well.

    thanks for your time

    change of address

    How would they answer the other questions like the one that says they are in the US as a " " with a drop down menue. There is nothing to select saying they are NOT in the US. It also asks for their present state and zip code, It only lists American States.

    EXACTLY now we are getting to the root of the problem

    how do i answer things like

    "All fields marked by the following symbol must be completed. *"

    the silly drop down menu will not allow me to put in my wifes philippine address

    silly form :crying:

    Sending money to your wife's family for hospital expenses

    in Philippines

    Posted · Edited by piglett

    I myself have always felt that the new year is a great time to pack up all of the stuff that belongs to your crazy self serving not capable of love wench from hell & deposit them on the front lawn!!! :D:P:D

    once you do this i would also change the locks & if you really want to put the cherry on top get a big can of the kind of fluid that you would use to start your BBQ grill & dump every drop on the crazy wench from hell's stuff.

    the final step is to light the pile & roast some marshmellows :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::yes::lol::yes:

    I hope everyone has a great & productive new year :whistle::whistle::whistle:

    piglett

    PS: if the fire department shows up make sure you have plenty of extra marshmellows & roasting sticks on hand :dance::devil:

    You sound like two college roomies fighting over whose turn it is to buy the pizza. (or) Like a father dealing with a hard headed teen.

    Here's an idea for you....treat your wife like a wife. Give her shared control of all your finances. Empower her instead of trying to control/ dominate her. (if) You can't trust her enough to turn loose or share the reigns...then what the hell were you thinking when you said..."l Do"...?

    Seriously...the more you post the more you show the control freak in you!

    Ridiculous!!!

    I think i'm all done with this thread

    this situation is crazy & it will not ever get better :bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk:

    keep the # to the airline handy dude U sure will need it when U decide that ur fed up with this

    That's pretty much what I do...drive myself crazy checking the status everyday, yearning for a "touch". It's only been a month but somehow it feels like decades....I definitely need to find something to occupy my mind with.

    well how do you know if you do get a "touch" ?

    this is what i have been checking https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do

    also how do i do a change of address for my wife ???

    can i do it online?

    thanks

    Are monthly pay stubs that has no deductions such as federal income tax and social security tax ,are acceptable?

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    My fiance is a full time contractor of a private company. His last year income in 2009 was short of about $2900 but we could justify it with his credit union savings for he has 15000 savings deposits there already and we will put it in his 1-134.

    my understanding is this (others may correct me if i am off the mark here)

    if his earnings come up short but he has a healthy savings account they should be OK with this.

    so if he makes $15,000 this year his savings will be counted to make up the rest.

    good luck

    This is not correct. By law, 1099's have to be sent out by January 31st every year.

    The consulate is going to want a copy of his most recent tax return, or an IRS transcript of that tax return. If your interview is in January, 2011, then they're going to want a copy of his 2009 tax return, which he would have filed by April 15th, 2010. If he didn't file a tax return in 2010 then he'll need to include a letter explaining why he wasn't required to file.

    I kind of doubt the consulate in Manila is going to accept four or five check stubs from a self-employed contractor as proof that his income qualifies for the affidavit of support. The fact that no taxes were deducted from the checks is not the problem. The problem is that, as a self-employed contractor, he will be able to deduct his business expenses on schedule C of his tax return. Presuming he makes $3000 every month for a year, his gross income would be $36,000. His actual TOTAL income on line 22 of his 1040 could be much lower than that because of his business deductions. I've seen many self-employed people whose gross income was much higher than your fiance's, and their total income on their 1040 was zero. The consulate can't possibly know what his total income is going to be until he files a tax return.

    I may run into some problems myself with my ajusted gross income being too low if i take all the deductions that i would normally take. i have a part time evening job (only about 10k there)

    all the rest of my income will be from me being self employed

    my accountant says just don't deduct much this year & write a check for about $2000 to the IRS ....OUCH

    but what other choices do i have??? it's either that or my wife can't get her CR1 :(

    so i guess i get to write a check.

    If he files taxes as self employed then the income that will be evaluated is line 22 from his 2009 income tax return.

    will he hit the $18,212 mark for income this year?

    did he make that much last year?

    as long as he filed his taxes for 2009 & he was over the $18,212 mark i myself would say that you should be ok

    my understanding is that the person doing the interview can also decide to accept or not accept

    just those pay stubs if they really want to (others "here" may say different though)

    best of luck :thumbs:

    Hello Everyone, Please to anyone who has idea help me...I would like to ask is it normal in USA pay check stubs that does not have federal income tax deductions.medicare,or not even social security deductions? Because my fiance pay check stubs does not have deductions in his salary,now i am so upset because the consular officer might wonder why the pay stubs of my fiance does not have deductions... to anyone here who is holding a pay check stubs please help me ,tell me if its the same with my fiance?or to anyone who went to interview using pay stubs that has no deductions,did the officer approve your visa?:help:

    is your fiance working as a private contractor? if so they will take nothing out of his pay.

    if this is the case he will get his check & at the end of the year he will be sent a form 1099

    just ask if he gets a 1099 at the end of the year, if so then you then know what's going on

    Good idea! Well, im at a bit of a loss of what else to do!

    We added me onto the condo and the electric bill, so i suppose i can add myself onto the rest of the bills.

    I didnt send any flight tickets in because i have NO idea how to find them. I must of deleted them from my email ages ago :unsure:

    Other than that we sent in most things with the initial packet.

    I mean, i could add him to my English bank but seems a bit silly if im gonna be closing that down when i leave!

    Any bright ideas?!

    I went to all 3 of my banks & they all say the same thing "you can't add your wife till she arrives here"
