[@Subhanlaw]

If you've been receiving SSI or SSDI benefits in one state, you'll continue receiving benefits if you move to a different U.S. state. If your visiting another U.S. state for 5 months, then you'll want to be sure to use your personal my "social security account" to ensure you receive your benefits. Search Google for "Traveling. You Can Still Access Social Security Resources," for more information. Also, contact your local SSA office for more details. Thank you.

I purchased houses and cars when I was on Non Immigrant H1 visa too also I got mortgage and car loans for the same.

[@Subhanlaw]

Hi. Yes. Some benefits also apply to nonimmigrant visas. However, not all the benefits are applied the same. For example, Green card (GC) holders can live and work in the 🇺🇸 permanently, are eligible to apply for US citizenship in 3 or 5 years, can work at any employer that they are eligible and start or work at a separate business as well. H-1Bs cannot live in the U.S. permanently, cannot apply for citizenship, and are generally tied to one sponsoring employer. H-1Bs can own a C Corp or LLC, but generally H-1Bs cannot work for their own business, unless it is the sponsoring employer. There is much more flexibility and certainty with a GC than an H-1B. With a GC you have many more benefits and peace of mind.

Congratulations on your green card approval! Once you receive the physical green card, then you can travel outside the U.S. for up to 5 months and 30 days. If you plan to travel outside the U.S. for more than 5 months and 30 days, then you need to apply for a reentry permit and receive your reentry permit before traveling. Please also review CDC guidelines and the traveling guidelines for the country your traveling to. Hope this helps you.

[@Subhanlaw]

Hi Pushpa. That's great that you have completed your 40 credits of work. Congratulations. However, you are not yet eligible for social security benefits until you reach the age of at least 62 years old under current law. Please note that this is a very complicated area of law. You'd have a responsibility to complete a SSA-21 if leaving the U.S. for more than 30 days. You may be eligible to collect social security benefits if you do not travel outside the U.S. for more than 5 months and 30 days every calendar year. If you stay outside the U.S. for 6 months or more, then your social security benefits would be stopped. Please contact your local Social Security Administration Office for more details. You should also consider the benefits of applying for citizenship in regard to social security benefits. See here for more information www.ssa.gov/international/payments.html

Hi. Yes. Some benefits also apply to nonimmigrant visas. However, not all the benefits are applied the same. For example, Green card (GC) holders can live and work in the 🇺🇸 permanently, are eligible to apply for US citizenship in 3 or 5 years, can work at any employer that they are eligible and start or work at a separate business as well.

H-1Bs can own a C Corp or LLC, but generally H-1Bs cannot work for their own business, unless it is the sponsoring employer. Also, nonimmigrants cannot own shares in an S-corporation until after a certain time frame of being in the USA. Green card holders can own S-corps or LLCs taxed as S-corps. Furthermore, nonimmigrants who purchase property are subject to FIRPTA. Therefore, they can purchase property, but without the right guidance, they will be subject to FIRPTA, which is a 15% withholding tax, unless an exemption applies. Therefore, there is much more flexibility and certainty with a GC than an H-1B or other nonimmigrant status. With a GC you have many more benefits and peace of mind.

I am married to an American but we live in Canada. Is there a point of benefit of getting it if we are living in Canada ? Would it just complicate my income tax returns ?

[@Subhanlaw]

Hi Julia. Thank you for your question. To become a permanent resident of the U.S., you must intend to permanently reside in the U.S. Once you permanently move to the U.S., you become a tax resident of the U.S. after residing in the U.S. for 183 days and then you become a non-resident for Canadian tax purposes. If you are outside of the U.S. for more than 180 days (6 months) in a year, you could be regarded as having abandoned your legal permanent resident status. Therefore, if you do not intend to permanently reside in the U.S, then applying for a green card through marriage is not recommended. Hope this provides clarification.

So a family of four just won the opportunity to get a visa and have the green card and they didn't do the paper work for getting the visa to travel to the USA yet because they are concerned about the family incomes because the father is 62 years old and it's hard for him to find a job in his age so is he qualified for social service benefits as soon as he arrives to the USA ? and if not is there an opportunity for him to work even if he is 62 years old??

[@Subhanlaw]

Hi Rawan. Glad you enjoyed the video and found the information helpful. I appreciate your comment. Also, it sounds like you know a family who was selected in the diversity visa lottery. That's great! Also, an applicant for a diversity immigrant visa does not have to file an affidavit of support also known as the form I-864. However, an applicant does have to prove that s/he is not likely to become a public charge. To satisfy this requirement, an applicant can show: (1) that s/he has funds to support the applicant and family members or has sufficient funds to provide support until employment is found, (2) the applicant has arranged employment, (3) friends or relatives will assure support, or (4) a combination of the above.

After getting employer based green card, can I quit my job or still need to work for my current company for at least a few months? Thanks

[@Subhanlaw]

A green card holder has the right to change his or her employer upon receiving the physical card. However, whether USCIS would consider the change in employment so quickly as fraud or misrepresentation based on "intent" depends on the specific facts and circumstances of your particular situation. Therefore, it would be good idea to determine whether such a quick change in employment may have immigration consequences in the future when filing to renew or applyjng for citizenship.

There is no set amount of money under U.S. law.

Good aft.. i left my green card sponsoring employer after 1 month or so getting green card and joined another company with the same skill set.. Hope it will not impact my citizenship appln?

[@Subhanlaw]

Hi Santosh. After receiving your green card, you are free to choose different employment. There is no minimum duration that an employee must remain with the sponsoring employer after the green card has been approved. However, moving to a different employer shortly after the green card is approved may lead to issues with "intent" during the naturalization process. Please do schedule a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss further.

Hi I had a question. What about Green Card Holder? Can you Apply for foreign tax credit as a green card holder. Will this be a red flag when you are applying to get your citizenship??

[@Subhanlaw]

Hi Divyansh. Great question!👍 Green card holders also known as legal permanent residents may be eligible for the following under certain circumstances: (1) foreign tax credits, (2) foreign earned income exclusion, and (3) foreign housing exclusion. Claiming legal tax benefits does not affect your citizenship application. With that said, to be eligible for some of these tax benefits, you need to be living and working outside the U.S., and such time outside the U.S. can affect your eligibility for citizenship. Speak with a tax advisor for more information on the taxes. Book a call with us to discuss your citizenship eligibility subhanlaw.com/book-call-page

A green card also known as "legal permanent residency" allows you to live and work in the 🇺🇸 permanently. If you have a green card, then you can travel outside the U.S. and return. Once you are approved for an immigrant visa, then you receive your green card after entering the U.S.

The time frame depends on which USCIS office is processing your application. For example, if you live in Tampa, FL, it may take apprx. 12 months, but if you live in San Francisco, CA, then it could take 36 months.

I have green card After working 10 years with 1099 form will I get retirement benefit? If yes What age will I start getting this benefit? Thanks

[@Subhanlaw]

Your 1099 income would count as earnings that could be used to calculate your Social Security benefit amount provided that you report the 1099 income as self-employment earnings and pay self-employment taxes on your net profit. The earliest a person can start collecting social security benefits is 62 years old. Speak with your tax advisor to make sure your paying self-employment taxes on your 1099 income. Also, contact the Social Secuirty Administration to discuss your eligibility for benefits. You can also discuss calculating the difference in benefits if you decided to start collecting at 62 years old versus later. Hope this helps you.

Hello, i am Asif from Pakistan going to apply NIW-EB2 visa. I have a question if i apply with my children and they also got the green card with my application. is it mandatory for them to live in the USA for a certain period of time. they are getting an education in Pakistan and I don't want to move them to the USA at this moment. May be after 5 years,if i want to invite them for their higher study, what will be the procedure at that time. I hope you understand my issue. Thank you

[@Subhanlaw]

Hi Asif. Spouses and children under 21 can apply to receive a green card with the EB-2 NIW applicant. Green card holders are subject to "immigrant intent" (i.e. their intention to live and work in the U.S. permanently), as well as the physical presence and continous presence tests in order to continue to remain a green card holder. It sounds like your current plan for your children would not meet the immigrant intent standard nor the physical and continuous residency tests. I'd highly recommend speaking to an experienced EB-2 NIW attorney before proceeding. We focus on E-2, L-1A, and EB-5 visas. Please go here to search for an EB-2 NIW lawyer ailalawyer.com

my father was greencard holder reside in las vegas n.v .. had a social security.. i liked to ask if my mom eligible to received his benefits if ever something happend they been seperate but not legally and my mom was in another country.. please enlighten me.

[@Subhanlaw]

It depends. Your parents must have been married for 10 years, your father must be receiving benefits, your mom must be at least 62 years old and not remarried, and then she may be able to collect social security benefits. However, if your mom is living outside the U.S., then other rules also apply. For example, in general, for foreign spouses to collect Social Security benefits then the foreign spouse must be a U.S. citizen or green card holder and not have lived outside the U.S. for 6 months. There may be exceptions for foreign spouses that are from a country that has a Social Security Agreement with the USA or if the foreign spouse and US spouse lived together for at least 5 years. Your mom can contact the Social Security Administration or a Social Security benefits lawyer for more information.

for those who won the US Green Card Lottery DS260 and want to relocate to US, is it possible to enter US to a State different from that mentioned in the application.

[@Subhanlaw]

When completing the DS-260, you must provide a U.S. "permanent address" and a mailing address that you want your green card mailed to. You are not required to live at the "permanent address" permanently. However, you should move to the address listed on the DS-260 and then you can later move to another residence and update USCIS. By not moving to the permanent address upon entry, you may leave your subject to issues of "misrepresentation" down the road. Book a call with an immigration attorney who handles DV cases to discuss in more detail.
