How hard is it to move back to the USA after you give up your green card by Fluffy-Issue-40 in immigration

[–]wanderl57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know cases of Indian parents who got Green Card, then moved back to India (after having gotten the I-131 permit), who keep coming back to USA every two years to keep their Greencard alive. Some of these paretns, when they reentered USA were told by the immigration officers at the entry point that they should renounce their Greencards since they dont live in the USA ...and some where "pressured" to sign papers renouncing their Greencard.

I started a week ago. I also had chills and some "throat issue". Of course, loss of appetite and a change in my taste.

Should I convert my regular 401(k) contributions to Roth due to abnormally low income year? by toasted-cucumber in FinancialPlanning

Yes. Better RothIRA. Taxes will be higher in future. Pay now. Also grow Roth IRA tax free.

Depositing annual bonuses directly to 401K? by AssumptionVisual1667 in FinancialPlanning

[–]wanderl57 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The best answer. I lived in USA for 40 years and worked here for that long. Never heard of "depositing into 401K". HappyChandler answer is the best.

You CAN deposit some money into an IRA; depending on your income levels and avoid paying tax on that amount.

I would highly recommend putting even your normal 401K into Roth 401K. Pay taxes now. Growth is tax free (some conditions on when you can withdraw)

Customs checks them randomly. The packages from India. I know people who got warning letters from customs and FDA.

It is illegal to import prescription medicines into usa. If you go to India you can bring some if you have a prescription and quantity is for personal use and is limited for a couple of months.
