American immigration forum

At present, there are many American immigration forums, post bars, communities and so on. I also often go to these forums to play soy sauce. I would like to share with you some hot issues about American immigration in various forums, hoping to help you.

What should EB5 consider in the 829 stage?

First, whether the investment is in place and maintained.

According to the current audit requirements, in fact, it has been moved to 526 for assessment in the first half of the year, so the assessment in the 829 stage is very simple, whether to maintain investment or not. The document for evaluating whether to maintain investment is relatively simple, that is, the document in the tax return for filing tax returns every year. It should be noted that there is a person named? Lend money to shareholders ",that is, shareholders borrow money. In theory, shareholders can borrow money, but once this subject has a balance, it is worth remembering whether the Immigration Bureau is thinking about ordinary temporary borrowing or withdrawing funds. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to this topic every year to avoid unnecessary disputes.

How long will it take to maintain the investment? At present, all official documents show that it is required to maintain the temporary green card conditions, that is, 829 is approved. As for a meeting in June 13, an immigration official said that the closure or transfer in good faith will not affect the approval of 829, but there is no standard for how to consider this issue in good faith. EB-5 consultant advised everyone not to touch this minefield. Therefore, it is risky to divest or sell before the approval of 829. Any oral draft or draft that is still soliciting opinions is not the current standard, and it may be possible in the future, but at present, I personally think it is very risky.

Second, whether to meet ten jobs.

When did you start hiring employees? It's actually quite simple. Follow the business plan. The business plan approved in stage 526 is an important standard for opening meals in enterprise operation. Anyone can understand a slight deviation. If the deviation is large, the Immigration Bureau will definitely have an idea. If you have ideas, you will have to explain them. Ross believes that it is better to explain things, believe it or not, according to the plan than to hand over the initiative. For direct investment, a feasible scheme itself is also the basis of commercial operation.

Does investment need to be spent? People who thought this kind of question had some business experience would not ask it, because it is almost impossible for any enterprise to confirm that the initial investment is 0 unless it is intentional. Immigration considers the operation of the enterprise, not the cost. A very important indicator in financial data is cash flow, cash flow. Adequate investment is not to spend 0, but to prepare for the establishment of healthy cash flow. The cash flow of an enterprise always goes in and out, so even the best accountant can't tell whether the money I spent today is business income or upfront investment, unless you put the upfront investment in a special account for special purposes. It is really ridiculous for anyone to do this in actual business operations. Moreover, the Immigration Bureau will not consider how much of your bank deposits are normal business inflows or original investment funds. However, there are all kinds of buts, except one case. If your business is very slow and you have a lot of cash in your account, then this cash is obviously the original investment, so the money lying in the bank to sleep does not meet the requirements of being at risk. Theoretically, this situation exists, but if it is a reasonable and suitable business plan from 526, it will not happen if it is operated reasonably. A business plan that can pass 526 should itself be a business operation plan with moderate scale. How much of this 500 thousand is used for shopping, how much for circulation, how much for reasonable wages and how much for reasonable expenses. These are all described in detail in the business plan. If it is a business plan, there is no business plan at the beginning, and no cash flow other than salary will be generated, it will not pass the 526 approval.

What you must know to live in America.

1. Three dollars for two.

Many people will have the same question when they come to American supermarkets for the first time. It says three dollars for two. Can we buy one? The answer is yes. Will it be more expensive to buy one? Actually, not at all. If you buy two dolls out of three, it's one and a half yuan, but in fast food restaurants, the situation is different. For example, McDonald's or Darby often have some promotional activities, such as Arby's 2 sub for 4 dolls. In this case, you can't buy one separately.

2. Buy one and get one free.

This is a common means of promotion in the United States. From daily necessities to cars, there are discounts for buying one and getting one free. But because you buy one and get one free, the price of getting two is the same as that of getting one, which is different from the three dollars mentioned above.

Don't buy beer without a photo ID card.

According to American law, anyone who buys alcohol products must look at the picture ID (you must reach the legal age to buy alcohol), and the regulations in different States and even counties are different. Some places can sell alcohol, others can't, and some States have some strange regulations, such as Georgia, which stipulates that alcohol can't be sold on Sundays (how can there be such a strange regulation). I don't know for the first time. On Sunday, I happily moved a case of beer to the supermarket for a party. As a result, the counter staff refused to sell it to me and told me, didn't you know? This is the law!

4. Take your ID card to the bar and go to the movies when you write a check.

Generally, there are age limits for dancing bars, some are 18 years old, and some are 2 1 year old. In a place like 18, if you are over 2 1, he will give you a bracelet, which means you can buy wine in it. As for movies, some cinemas will classify ordinary and restricted movies. You can't get in without your ID card. As for checks, we are generally not used to using them, but remember that when you use them, people will also look at your ID card.

The shopping mall closes at 6 pm on Sunday!

It's hard for people from Asia to understand why almost all business places in the United States (and I think Europe) close at six o'clock on Sunday night, so if you want to go shopping on Sunday, please go early, while the business hours are mostly at nine o'clock on weekdays and open until ten o'clock on Saturday.

6. Remember to renew your insurance.

Remember to renew the insurance when it expires. Some insurance companies will forget to send you a notice and remember to renew their insurance. The medical expenses in America are staggering. Don't bet your life and health. In addition, insurance premium is called insurance premium. Because the word premium can also be used as the best meaning, you can see many products called premium in the supermarket, such as orange juice and pizza, so don't confuse the two meanings. When it comes to insurance, when it comes to premium, it is insurance money.

7. Down payment and monthly payment.

There are generally two payment methods for buying things, one is full payment and the other is installment payment. Installment payment is divided into down payment and monthly payment. Generally, if you buy something bigger, such as a car or insurance, the amount payable by different payment methods will be listed above. Some promotional advertisements will be printed with no down payment, which means no down payment. However, if it is an installment payment, you usually need to pay extra financial expenses (equivalent to interest). Is it worth paddling? Do the math yourself.

8. Pay your label fee before your birthday.

Tag fee is the car license tax, which is paid once a year, usually between $200 and $400. Due to different state laws, the payment method and amount are not the same. But in general, you must pay the tag fee for the next year in advance before your birthday, or you will be fined 10%.

9. Test the emission of your car every other year.

The laws vary from state to state, but they should be similar. According to the law of Georgia, cars are tested every two years, and the fee is $25. If you need detailed location, please provide emission testing service.

10. If there is a left turn sign, turn left first.

Driving in America is very different, that is, when the red light turns green, if there is a left-turn light, it will turn into a left-turn light first, so the left-turn car will go first. So there is no green light to turn. But if there is no left-turn light, it is still the same to change to a left-turn train after the through train has left.

1 1. Ten dollars discount and ten dollars cash back.

Rebate and cash back are both commonly used promotional methods in the United States. Rebate means that after you buy something and go home, you fill out an application form, pay the computer bar code (UPC) of the product and send it to the manufacturer together with the receipt, and they will send you a check. It takes two weeks to two months. Cash back will directly refund the cash to you when you check out, but the refund is still taxable. For example, if you buy something for $20, the cash back is 10, but the tax you pay is still calculated at $20. Maybe you think this is not a trivial matter, but if you buy a car with a cash back of $2,000, you will know how different it is.

12.

The so-called first gift is the first time you make a mistake, and you can ask someone else (usually the bank) to forgive you. For example, if your check bounces, you are fined by the bank, or your credit card is overdue, you are fined by the bank, or even your car is stopped. You can ask if there is a policy of giving gifts first. Every bank is different, and some are different. If so, you can save yourself a considerable fine.
