I made a mistake..can I correct it now?

[krishan1]

Dear JoeF and Friends,

I wish I had visited this forum a month ago..However, here is my case details. I am on H1B working as fulltime employee, formed a single-member LLC on my own about 10 days ago, but not yet applied for Tax ID and bank account.Now I have couple of questions..

1) I used my home address as office address and also as registered agent address..based JoeF comments in other posts, its obvious that I made a mistake..since haven't applied for tax id and bank account yet, can I now correct this mistake if I have another address(ex:-my friends addr.)
2)I understand that non-immigrants can not do any work for their business besides from being a passive investor..my questions is that, do they have to specificly state this company info while applying for their I140/485? or CIS will come to know when they look at the applicants last three years W2's and 1090's? if so, how would CIS determine whether he/she really a passive invester or actually doing some work for that company? just wondering whats their source of information? Please clarify!

Thanks for your advice!

JoeF & Raviobbu, thanks for your reply!

Yes..I do have an attorney, but he seems to be good only at incorporating the business and other legal issues but not really into these immigrants legal issues..

CIS cares about if somebody works without authorization. Any and all work, includiing taking out the trash in the company you own, requires work authorization. Paid or not paid doesn't make a difference. The act of doing something, anything, for the company is what matters.

JoeF, I am sorry but the above didn't really help me understand how would CIS knows that one is owning a company? and if they do by going through the tax returns, how would they determine whether he/she is really a passive investor or did some work for his/her own company as you pointed out taking out the trash? BTW..I liked this simple example
