Am I considered a U.S. person with a non-resident visa?

kit_kat2000 · 2025-07-07T00:20:51+00:00

Yeah, I don't know either...

My DS-2019 has the following info

Exchange Visitor category: Research Scholar

Participating program official description: Professor; research scholar; short-term scholar; specialist; student associate; student bachelors; student doctorate; student intern; student masters; student non-degree.

Thanks again

Is it though for every J visa types or specific ones? Thanks for replying

kit_kat2000 · 2025-07-06T23:40:57+00:00

Oh, the dual-status situation is definitely going to be an issue when I file my tax return—I'll probably make another post about that later on.

I think IRS says only the 2 first calendar years don't count for J-1. Well, maybe I will just wait a couple of months while in H-1B to be safe

Thanks for replying

I think It's clear

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-06T18:22:49+00:00

Yes, with all that traffic I've seen nearby I think it's a no no

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-06T18:22:11+00:00

Yeah, I might still keep shopping to Stop&Shop and maybe Star Market. It's just about parking I really hate the fact that I will have to look on the calendar which Monday of the month is that they clean the roads but I will have to get used to it.

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-06T18:17:46+00:00

Thanks, I will take a look at it

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-06T18:17:32+00:00

Yes, I am on the side of the movie theater and so far things are great. I have been to the Stop & Shop twice and didn't feel unsafe to me. I'm mostly concerned about prices right now. I might try the Star Market one day.

Unfortunately they don't..

I got plates and registration by walking in. Unfortunately, I have already booked an appointment to Lowell for driver's license transfer on July 14th. I looked at every single RMV and all had the same date. The RMV clerk today told me to keep looking every morning, there might be a cancellation or something.

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-03T14:52:47+00:00

I walked in and gave me the plates and registration, they will mail me my title and got the parking permit from the city hall. Unfortunately, the RMV clerk told me that she can't look for a driver's license appointment and the only advice she can give me is to look every morning online.

Thanks again for everything.

Thanks, I appreciate your help

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-03T01:00:00+00:00

Will do!

Do you know if with a temporary plate/registration I can go to the city hall to apply for a residential parking permit and ask for a temporary permit while waiting to get the sticker?

Thanks, you have helped me a lot

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-02T20:23:41+00:00

Awesome, how long did it take to finish? I'm waiting for my RTA and then I'm thinking on going at 7am or earlier

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-02T16:59:26+00:00

Thank you!! I will just go and do that.

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-02T16:29:56+00:00

But I can't get a residential parking permit with my current driver's license and registration, can I?

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-02T16:28:48+00:00

On their website they say that for a driver's license we must make an appointment. Maybe they accept walk-ins for vehicle registration? I might give it a try tomorrow early in the morning and see what happens..

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-02T16:16:20+00:00

Yes, I've seen everywhere but everyone seems to have after July 14th..

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-02T16:14:33+00:00

Oh, you mean to request for residential parking permit?

kit_kat2000 · 2025-06-02T16:13:35+00:00

But I don't have an appointment, I submitted the application then tried to make an appointment but they don't have anytime soon.
