By the way, for get the "quotes" they don't work, your just compounding posts. A deemed resident files just like a CDn resident, reporting all world income don't they? The only difference is that (on everything other than wages) you pay a fed surtax, which I always thought was higher than ...

Sounds like you hve a perfect case for XXV.3: 3. In determining the taxable income of an individual who is a resident of a Contracting State there shall be allowed as a deduction in respect of any other person who is a resident of the other Contracting State and who is dependent on the individual fo...

You should be paid as a contractor. I wouldn't get ung up about being paid in US or Cdn dollars, as Cdn$ is better these days anyways, and you will be spending it in Canada.

... by the way, while we're all exorcised at USCIS, did your lawyers once work for them, too.

They misfiled your I-129, and can't figure out how to send an AOS, and convinced your boss to premium process something that didn't need it.

as it stands, you have until the end of February to file I-485. We should know in the next 5 days whether you will still be able to file in March or not.

You are really on the edge, I hope they have EVERYTHING else for I-485 done right now.

1) Yes. The fact that you and she are residents of canada is sufficient. 2) You would need to look at teh child care expense rules. I seem to recall the need to provicde an SSN for the payee, which could be a problem. I believe others in your situation are claiming however with no problem. 3). Only ...

Yes, for 3 reasons. 1) Since you left so early in 2006, you don't get a full $8500 exemption, you'll get maybe $1000, so you need to actaully determine if you have any tax to pay. 2) When you leave, you need to pay departure tax on any investments you owned on the day you left. You need to report ev...

"Submit a copy of your Form I-94, Nonimmigrant Arrival/Departure Record, showing your admission to the UnitedStates and current status, or other evidence of your status." OR is a pretty nice word. In this climate of retrogression, I would have filed I-485 (and I-140 if not done yet) at the...

If you filed a 1040, that meant you were supposed to rerport all world income for the year on it.

You amend returns with 1040-X.

1) All service centers are equally bad.

2) you can file I-485 without the I-94. You are in status.

3) See 1.

IRS would not be allowed to INCOME tax it if you transferred it to your spouse, since that would not be taxed in Canada (that is a treaty provision).
It would be the same as when you transfer to an RRIF.

The same will happpen if you divorce and transfer part of your RRSP in the settlement.

.. i meant 2% minimum.

44, may I call you 44, ... and your concern is? If you need to leave the country, they can look up your approval in the system. you need a new I-94 when you come bacjk anyways. If your not leaving the country, you've still got time left on the 240 days. Call back after 30 days. In the meantime, I'd ...

Cdns never need a consular visa stamp to enter US, except in rare cases (and H4 is not one of them).

Your newborn will get an H4 just like the others, at the border, when entering, with proof of your H1 and birth cert.
