If your cousin's company is based in India and has no US subsidary or legal relation with any US-based company, the money is TAX FREE. If they open a US account, they would have legal relation to the US system and therefore have to pay income tax on it.
If they use your account, you will get a 1099 from their client and therefore will show as your earnings and tax will be based on the bracket you fall in (after you add the 1099 earnings). If you are on a work visa (like H1B), this is illegal except for interest earned (I-1099) or stocks/dividents. Other 1099s might affect your immigration process.
Client can use Remit2India, PayPal (charges fees), Creditcards (charges fees) OR just use their company bank (usually free if paid in US dollars).
Thing to keep in mind is: fees, foreign transaction fees, conversion fees are all different from US taxes.
Hi Guys,
I need your help on this. My cousin is running this small IT company in india and he mentioned that when US client sends their money to India via Pay Pal or some secure money transfer , they are charging them 4 % of transfer amount.
He ask me that what could be the best way to avoid this fees , some of the option that we thought about,
1) If they (cousin's company) open an bank account in USA and utilize this to transfer the money to indian bank account - Would they still need to pay US tax as money is being deposited into the US account?
2) If I utlize my bank account - I think in this scenarion I have to pay the US tax for whatever money the client is depositing into my account in order to make this legal transfer
3)If US client utilize remit2india, ICICI to transfer money which I highly doubt
I appriciate your responce on this.

I am in US.
I received RFE for H1b extension PP last week. Original application was Feb 28, RFE came Mar 6
I am sorry to hear ur situation, but can you tell us more? Like why should someone get a RFE for h1b extension??? I got my h1b extension last year for 3 years without any hasstles and also got stamping, offcourse I provided all tax documents and paystubs (latest) for the H1b extension.
Just trying to understand if this is a pattern now.

I'm not sure about H1 after using AP. Make sure with others.
Yup, I had checked this because even I thought entering on AP invalidates H-1B, but he said that's not the case. In fact, my company still renews H-1B for my colleagues who have used AP to reenter.
Has anyone heard otherwise from a lawyer?
Thanks,
Jayant

Really great job on the singing Pankaj!!! It was really impressive!
Even though it was not really the anthem for anyone there, it was a nice gesture to sing the national anthem of the people we are asking to help us. Plus, it is the only anthem that we all have in common...
Also, you have chosen to move to this country, please have the courtesy to adapt to American values. Singing the national anthem is always right.

Congratulations to you and your family.
Got the approval notice today :) "Welcome to the United States of America" - ironically i have been in this country for a decade now! finally the "welcome" :)
It has been a very long journey!!! and a very frustrating one for the last few years... but the feeling that I now get is really liberating... first thing I did was thanked God for ending the seemingly endless wait that me and my wife (she didn't care as much) were in.
I'm already thinking of the things I want to do after this new found liberation... it includes showing the middle finger to those who have taken undue advantage of my status :cool: :D and i'm not taking it anymore... I'll be a new person starting Monday!
Just so there is no confusion... my PD was Feb 2003 EB3 but my wife's PD was EB2 April 2004... we got our freedom through her application. If anyone needs more info on how/what/when - i can share that (it had its up's and downs - mainly downs, but all's well that ends well)!
Lastly as a token of my real support to the cause of IV I will be donating a small amount. I have donated in the past... I have participated in conversations in the past... I was not so active on other fronts but I truly believe in this organizations effort to help the community. And God willing each one of you will get this freedom soon! God Bless!

Thank you very much for all the advices. I wonder if I do need to take vacation around the early of year 2008 and come back approximately October, 08 due to my H1B expiration in April, 08. I wonder if I still need to be employed full time with my current employer during the whole period that I�ll not be in US. Do I need to get pay during that period? Would part time be enough in order to keep the green card process going? Also, do I need to file any applications with USCIS prior to taking vacation in order to let USCIS know that I�ll be taking vacation and I can use that vacation time outside US to extend my H1B until around October, 08. If I have to file, when should be the best time to file it and what form should I use? I plan to leave around the early of February, 08. Accordingly, I can come back around October, 08 and file the I-797 form for H1B extension if my I-140 is approved by then. Please advise and thank you very much.

If so can we explore this option??
I agree with you. Why we don`t explore this option ???? USCIS make so many rule by itself then why they don`t make this rule to file 485 while PD is not current without going in Senate. Like they start premium processing of I-140. They make this rule without any bill in US Senate. correct me if I am wrong
I think, core team should look this option or ask us to find more information about it. I think, core team can meet with high official from USCIS.
what do you guys think about it ??
thx.

When you want ride in a bus, you have to buy a ticket. I hope everyone agrees - at least that is the legal way :). The ticket to ride on the "Omni Bus" needs millions of dollars not thousands. Thousands lets you look inside the bus, not ride it.

I have a valid point to akhilmahajan.
I work for security industry (database auditing) and i do know the concerns and security related issues.
Here USCIS may be sending the information of one applicant to the other applicant. This may happen with a probability of 1 in 100.
Now tell me, what will you or i be doing with someone else's data?
Atleast skilled immigrants like us will not harm and or destroy knowingly someone else's credit history. This will not only destroy your future citizenship options but will also lead to deportation in case you are caught.
Also, there will no credit card numbers and or bank account details to be lost.
One more thing is, you can always fight back and reverse the screw up that may happen in case your social security number is misused and you have a proof of it.
By saying this, what iam saying is, the threat is not as serious as the thread author seems to indicate. There are bigger concerns on our plate who needs our attention.
Unless the USCIS mistakenly publishes your data on website and or looses hard disk with all the data in it at walmart, you shouldn't be worried.
Peace.
Cant you think and understand what the post meant?
He is mentioning a very valid point. 485 has all the information which one needs to screw up some one's credit history which takes years and years to build up.
I hope now u will get the point.

Please explain what is student status and 221g. You mean , if you are student of any intitute in US, while your I-140 is approved?
I was here on F1 first and then converted o H1. I went for a H1 stamping after about 5years. Student status refers to the status of the F1 visa. They usually track it using SEVIS. My bad luck since SEVIS was not up that day or my name was not showing up since I was a pre sevis grad enrollment. 221g is a document they hand out if they cannot issue a visa due to lack of documents or need to no further administrative processing like verify employer/status on a visa etc. You need to either appear again before the consulate or they get back to your later. My case was a nightmare and I dont plan to ever go back again to India period. Guys do your research on the web regarding 221g do travel plans accordingly!

sksatmt:
I have 2 more ids. I always play with you. Can you find my other ids also?
If you will find my other ids than i will salute you. You will also get EAD as reward.
I will check your output in night also.
good luck.
