Common sense of American immigrants renewing their green cards

Common sense of American immigrants renewing their green cards

First, it usually takes 3-5 months to record fingerprints and get a new green card in the process of green card replacement for American immigrants, so it takes less than 6 months to submit an application and get a new green card. If the American immigration applicant does not receive the green card within six months after the application is approved, it is recommended to check with the American Immigration Service Center. If the inquiry is unsuccessful, you must reapply.

If the applicant leaves the United States during the application period, he can leave by fingerprint without waiting for a new green card. If you don't have an old green card, you need to enter the United States before you can get a new green card. You can apply for a temporary id card before you leave this country and put it on your passport so that you can enter the United States next time.

Second, the renewal of American immigrant green card.

1. If the applicant's change address is different from the address provided to the Immigration Bureau for applying for a green card, or the address provided is wrong, the applicant must resubmit the application and follow the normal procedures, and pay the fee.

If the applicant has been ruled by the Immigration Bureau to give up his permanent resident status, he will not get a green card when submitting a new application unless he can prove that he has not given up his permanent resident status.

3. If the contents of the green card of an American immigrant applicant need to be updated, the Immigration Bureau will first verify whether the information on the green card is consistent with the application information. If there is any discrepancy, the Immigration Department will refuse the request for a free card replacement. If the green card information is incorrect due to personal reasons, you need to submit the I-90 form according to normal procedures, and pay the basic application fee and fingerprint filing fee.

4. If an American immigrant applicant loses his green card overseas, he must report the loss in person at the overseas immigration office or consulate and apply for a boarding letter.

If the damage is due to the quality problem of the green card itself, the application fee is free.

If a foreigner is not in the United States on his or her 14 birthday, he or she usually submits an application within 30 days after returning to the United States.

1. Does the applicant need to declare his personal property, cash and stocks in China when he lands in the United States?

It is understood that according to the American tax system, there are three types of people who need to file tax returns: the first is citizens, the second is green card holders, and the third is taxpayers. What is a tax resident? For example, investors who have lived in the United States for more than 365,438+0 days this year, or investors who have lived for more than 65,438+083 days in the past three years, are tax residents. Due to the complicated calculation method, the above days are not natural days. If simplified, investors are advised to stay in the United States for no more than 120 days each year to avoid becoming tax residents. If investors do not become tax residents, there is basically no need to file tax returns. If the investor has become a green card holder, but has no income in the United States, then the global income of the investor does not need to be declared.

Second, how to declare the real estate in China to the US government after emigration? Under what circumstances should I pay taxes?

According to the current laws in the United States, the property owned by an immigrant applicant in his own name outside the United States is not among the items to be declared. After becoming a green card holder in the United States, the value of his property will be sold for profit in the future. However, after paying the value-added tax on real estate in China, if the tax paid by China is still lower than the capital gains tax 15% in the United States, there may be an obligation to pay American taxes. If investors have real estate, and the real estate is not for rent, there is basically no need to declare it. In addition, there is no need to declare value-added property. Because the American tax law thinks that investors have not become income, when investors sell this part, they have to pay taxes. Investors are advised to evaluate all properties and properties under their names before applying for immigration, so as to prove the source of property when filing tax returns in the future.

3. What is the impact of honest and reasonable tax returns on enjoying retirement pension, medical care and other welfare benefits?

It is very important for every taxpayer to pay taxes honestly. Take American medical care as an example. American medical equipment is world-class, and American medical insurance is very expensive. American welfare grants pensions and red, blue and white cards to residents every year to facilitate their medical treatment. If residents have no income, the card will pay all medical expenses. If there is income, residents only pay a part. If investors fail to declare their taxes truthfully, they can't apply. To apply for this card, you must accumulate 40 points. A person can accumulate up to 4 points per year, and the application for $65,438+0,300 can reach 65,438+0 points, so the application for $7,000 can complete 4 points per year. If you report for 10 years continuously, you are eligible to apply for this card.

American citizens and green card holders must declare their overseas assets. Do you need to declare all the immigrant customers?

At present, the U.S. Treasury Department has many declaration requirements, the purpose of which is to warn overseas American taxpayers not to violate the law and not to declare their income. The IRS needs to tax global income. Families considering immigration should make plans now, because whether they have plans or not makes a big difference after tax. If the investor fails to declare truthfully, the fine will be quite serious. In the United States, tax evasion is a criminal offence, and it will not only be fined, but also imprisoned.

5. What are the precautions for high-income people when reporting their income? Any good suggestions?

Usually, the tax season in the United States is June 1 to April 15. According to the provisions of the tax treaty between China and the United States, middle-and high-income people do not need to pay twice. However, it is suggested that American certified public accountants and tax agents who are familiar with the actual tax situation in China and the United States should make overall plans on how to declare, how to save taxes legally, how to avoid taxes, how to postpone taxes and how to exempt taxes. For middle-and high-income people, it is suggested that their income be divided into two parts for tax declaration. If the tax return is part of the salary, the tax saving method is limited and the amount is limited. Investors can use loans for owner-occupied houses to reduce taxes, or do charity, which are tax-free. If it is part of the company's income, you can use a lot of business expenses to avoid taxes.
