Are you sure you wanna do it? This is a govt issued document. What if you are told to file a police report for the "loss"? Will you lie to police as well? -NS

If your husband is not in US, you cannot get a TIN for him. Nowadays, TIN is only issued to persons who is required to file a tax return (with US income) but does not qualify for SSN. In fact, you need to send them a completed tax return while applying for TIN. This has become much more strict...

This is what I found in the IRS publication: "Your filing status is single if, on the last day of the year, you are unmarried or legally separated from your spouse under a divorce or separate maintenance decree, and you do not qualify for another filing status. To determine your marital...

You should file as "married filing seperately". If you are paying for any dependents, you can file as "head of household" but your dependents will have to live with you. Your husband is not in US and he is not a US resident/ citizen, so he does not have to pay US taxes on his income abroad...

AR-11 does not go to USCIS, it goes to state dept, AFAIK. -NS

When did that start happening? My child got GC in August, was not fingerprinted. NS

Good schools in Austin? Along the same lines, what is a good school district in Austin, TX? I am inclined towards north Austin, but will consider other parts if school is good. Any suggestions? Any area to avoid? -NS

The child will become citizen automatically when the parents are naturalized, provided the child is not more than 14 years old at that time. Hopefully the parents will be naturalized before then and the child does not even have to wait 5 years. -NS

3) When paying taxes, if the person stays less than 180 days in a year in any state, he will come under non-resident and has to file taxes using non-resident form. Is this OK? Difference between part-year resident and non-resident? I guess you are talking about state tax here. You are...

Bindaas, Technically, they are correct that your wife does not need a new card. But, did they update her record? My wife got her card while on EAD and still she had those words. So, she had to get a new card anyway. You should call SSA and try to get a confirmation from them. This is my...

jkuo44, Even if your card is clean, you should notify SSA to update their record. My card had the words so I went to apply for a new card, they told me that they will order a new card as well as update my records as a PR. I think it has something to do with establishing eligibility for future...

Curious100, I did it once and ruxrux and max2k1 are correct but there is a catch. Sometimes airlines and even officers at POE ask for EAD as a proof of employment eligibility. So, if you do not have one, make sure you take your H1B approval notice and the USCIS memo max2k1 mentioned describing...

Technically, you cannot use it because the moment you became PR, your H1 is invalid. Will you get by? Possibly yes, depending on the amount of checking they do. But if you get caught, it will be too much hassle. I wouldn't do it just for saving $60. -NS

If $60 is no big deal, why do you want to use an invalid H1 stamp?

F1 is not a dual intent visa. I'm not sure if she can file for immigration if she comes on F1.

Your employer is supposed to ask you for new authorization when the one on file expires. It is their responsibility to keep I-9 current and make sure that they employ only authorized people. Even if it is late, file I-9 now and forget about it. You will not be penalized for this. -NS

Mine changed after 1 month. Don't worry.

When I went for the registration, I asked the officer about this and she said that they would close my NSEERS account when I go for stamping. Well, I went home on AP before my 485 got approved and went through departure control. Upon reentry, I was exempt because of AP. If you did not hear...
