Hi,

As of 2009, I have 32 SS credits, so only 8 short of the magic 40. However, I R2Ied in 2009, and my re-entry permit expires in October. I will most probably visit US to extend GC validity for a year. I will appreciate if someone can help me with the following questions.

1. If I am in India, and ask a friend in US (who has his business) to pays me a salary for approx $5000 this year and the next one, will that qualify for 4 credits for SSN in 2010 and 2011?

2. If I register a PLLC in the US,, and pay myself a salary, will I qualify for the SS credits?

Thanks in advance!
 
If you are not working in the US, how do you expect to qualify for SS credits?

You appear to have given up your GC and are attempting to commit fraud. Have you been paying US taxes on your world wide income since your R2I?
 
I think your question has been answered in another forum. Fraud or not, anyone who runs a payroll and pays you will salary boost your SS credits.
