I hope Ebay is allowed.... That's what I have done a couple times now. You would be surprised what kind of money you can make with the things you have hidden in a closet/storage. I do it on my husbands ebay account, besides we are married and our money is both of ours. If you sell on ebay its for your wife and she let's you use the money?? What are they going to say?
That's my opinion lol.
That's my opinion lol.
Does it mean, you guys got the GC without an interview?
eBay Income
Currently eBay is not requesting Social Security Numbers from eBay USA sellers, however that may change in 2010.
In Canada, however the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) is requesting Canadian power sellers to report their income, so that change may soon happen in the USA.
"Presumably, the CRA is targeting professional e-commerce sellers, not the occasional eBay seller attempting to dispose of used items such as a couch, stamp collection, old books, mugs or CDs, etc."

Thanks, but, I am not sure if you misread my post and thought the GC was for my wife. It's actually for my mother and I think no interview is pretty much the norm for parents' AOS cases.
Yup. You are right.. I wasnt following you.. I thought it was for your wife..
I thought you found a way to avoid the interview in marriage based AOS

In fact I have. And you can learn the trick for a very low low introductory offer price of $99.99.

Just a heads-up. EAD card was ordered yesterday.

I'll take it!!!
I figured seen as we're married it's both our money..it's not a 'job' per se, just a little extra cash to go towards our trip to the UK at Christmas (if all goes to plan!)... Only thing is, it's stuff I've been making.. Very little, just odd things I've been filling my time with... So not second hand (though some of the stuff I did make when I was still in the UK some months ago!) but handmade. Do you think that would be a problem? I mean, I could set it up under my hubby's name and send any money into his paypal account, which would be connected to the main bank account... So it would be going towards HIM basically, it would just be me selling it...
Thank you, I can't remember why we decided not to go with bank of America... I think we'll stick with who we're with, see if the woman who set up the account was talking rubbish (she had to go and ask and STILL didn't seem sure of what the rules were) and if not we can get an upgraded account I'd be allowed on, it's just a monthly fee we'd rather avoid...but the bank itself seems a lot more helpful than any of the others we've been with/spoken to... We'll see how it goes, hopefully now the account is up and running I can be added, but that would be too simple, right?!
If not we'll look into Bank of America and decide what to do.SpanishGirl

Here’s how to get your $100 by opening a new checking account at Bank of America
Before opening a bank account at such giant banking entities as Bank of America or Chase Bank make sure that you are aware of their all fees and polices, including those that are written in fine print. Also, read reviews of those respective banks at which you intend to open a bank account. From my experience, local community credit unions and small, local banks offer better service without attempts of ripping off or charging hidden fees than big, nationwide banks. Take your time and read some information by visiting the below websites.

My husband and I opened with Bank of America 2 weeks ago. You need to open it with 100 dollars and pay 2 bills with it within the first 30 days (electricity or cell phone etc) then within 60-90 days you get $100.
