As long as you are in status during and after the transfer process, they are also kept in status. No need for them to get separate visa just as there is no need for you to get a separate visa everytime you change an employer. Not now atleast. But I hear that such a law is under...

As someone said, if you want to really file a divorce, why not do that in India ? Why come to the US first and then file a divorce ? The only reason I can think of is to get into the US and to spite your husband . Besides if you are securing a H4 Visa claiming to be a dependent of H1 but with...

Then it's too bad and reveals a stand that is incapable of logical review. Ha ha . Your logic reminds me of a story. A man and his wife entered the gates of a house that said 'Private Property'. The owner of the house says to the man, " This is my house and I am gonna beat your wife. If you...

First of all , You have not read the thread. No body is complaining about paying taxes. It's only a few oppressive tax policies that are being analyzed. And nobody is denying that taxes do provide some temporary and limited benefits to foreign citizens although not as much to get on a high...

So ,Eric I have to file my CA taxes last after I am through with my other states, right ? that'l take long time since I have to wait to get both the employer's letters certifying that I never worked or lived in their states. I know the letter is required by IL to effect a refund. But does...

Although I do agree with the immediate practicality of your statement there, I do believe firmly that an ammendment need to be made to this rather oppressive law and somebody well connected in the US (perhaps of foriegn origin) must take up this cause. An association should be formed of all...

The future belongs to the East You seem to misconstrue 'Development, industrialization and hyperactive economic activity in China' with throwing open the entire market indiscriminately to these marauding hordes of arrant capitalistic forces. But there is a subtle variation here. I will not...

I don't think it's quite that way, Eric. Although, I too am no expert in this matter. I think it's about convinience (and a bit too much at that) and not about any registration with other states etc.. For eg: all he has to do is to notify the payroll company(in my case PAYCHEX) of the state...

skewed logic of course I've already moved back to my country more than a year ago. I only go to US on projects only when the US companies request for my services. But who knows what the future lays in store ? Also your defense of the US policies by the logical statement "Given the number of...

No that would be advisable only after one becomes a permanent citizen of that country. Then only it's fair. Otherwise they need to ammend that law. But so long as advocatores like you who never question any law as long as it brings revenue exist, this law cannot be repealed. We need to reach out...

Yes you do. Yes you do get the entire amount that was withheld by your NJ employer in state taxes when you file the NJ non resident return. But can you tell me which form to use for filing this NJ non resident return to claim the full refund ? I am thinking NJ-1040NR. Is this the correct...

I agree with you siddharth that it's unfair that the US govt treats millions of H1's like citizen's for tax purposes and charging taxes on their worldwide income while at the same time making sure the green card process is made so excruciatingly slow that by the time it happens, a good 4 to 5...

Just pay taxes only on money earned from USA Siddharth, even if they did they are not going to talk about it. Why do you need to disclose your parents accounts ? no need. Just keep your offshore accounts few. Transfer all the funds that are your ancestral property earned by you or your parents...

that may be bogus So, how do they do it ? Do they bribe some official in the IRS ? Look I am in India now and left the US last year in 2004. I am filing all my federal and state taxes (of 3 states) from india. there can't be no firm saving you more taxes than you can save by doing it yourself...

reinstatement is necessary First thing. You need to file for that re-instatement. You need to be re-instated back in status in order to do anything legally. You cannot file for Green card with your fiancee unless you are in status first. You can't do any adjustments , change of status etc...

similar plight Hi Eric, I am actually in a similar plight as well. In 2004 My first employer was located in IL and he withheld IL state tax. Then I transferred to an employer in NJ and he withheld NJ state tax. But during all this time I was living and working in CA alone. So, I only owe state...
