I am looking for people like me that still have some old defunct currency (500 and 1000 notes), so that we can collectively put our voice together to RBI.
I have spoken to an RBI over the phone and I was told that current scheme (valid till June end) is only for Indian passport holders and not...
My brother is applying for visa from India to visit us for one month during summer. My question is related to level of sponsorship he needs to prove during the interview. I can send him invitation letter stating that we will take care of his housing and food during the visit. He plans to take...
my parents, both aged over 75 years, returned to LAX from India just in time so that they were not technically out of country for 365 days or more. The immigration office appeared quite anguished and after little bit scolding he put a comment on passports that they have been given last and final...
I will likely require professional help from a tax consultant, but I wanted to get general idea if there is anyone with experience.
After having GC for over 3 years and living 2 mos/year in US, my parents are finally agreeing to move to US permanently. There are two questions that we are...
My aged parents are in somewhat similar situation as OP. They will be completing 12 months in India in September... so they plan to return to US before that. However, there is a wedding in November they want to attend and will have to go back for a week. Since they are both over 75 years age, I...
Since there is no response so far to this post, i will make an attempt, but i am not most qualified on the subject.
I had sponsored GC process for my parents and did all paperwork myself. It was not very difficult. In your case, you might want to get professional help as you are sponsoring...
Sam- when you sponsored your mom's immigration, you signed I-864 form (affidavit of support) agreeing that you will not seek any "means tested benefits". I do not know how other states handle this, but in CA the state govt has the right to come after you and seek 'repayment' of any money that...
Their property in India is worth around $150,000
If they sell, what is best option to bring this bulk money to the US? Would there be any TAX implications? Both my parents are retired with very little monthly pension. Would it make sense for them to purchase a property in the US to avoid any...
I live in California and based on my limited understanding of new healthcare laws kicking in, I believe beginning 2014, we will be able to purchase pretty decent medical insurance for parents from govt regulated exchanges. I looked up 'covered California' website and by using their simple cost...
Zee thankyou very much. It seems i need to catch up with new Obamacare changes coming down the road. I ran the calculator posted at http://www.coveredca.com/calculating_the_cost.html and it gives me cost of $1400/month for two senior citizens. While this is expensive, but i am glad to see there...
hello Zee- I live in Orange County, and yes I did sign that I-864. I did not relate that to Medicare... although I am aware you cannot (should not) file for Medicaid. Again, I am planing to pay for Medicare... and not necessarily avail government aids.
Technically speaking, i think, the...
My Parents got GC 3 years back. They have stayed in the US only for a couple of months each year (with exception of first year when they had stayed over 6 months in a year). They are both over 70.
Will they become eligible to buy Medicare Part A and Part B after completion of 5 years as LPR...
I am back in the game... and every time i return it seems to get tough.
My parents are planing to return to US after living in India for almost 11.5 months. First thing i want to do is file Re Entry Permit for them just in case they decide to go back in a month. Technically, i know they...
