Lawyer Huang Huili’s legal mailbox (16) 1. How can I meet the conditions for the two-year deferment of deportation for illegal international students and apply for a work permit? The President issued an executive order on June 15, 2012. Applicants who meet certain conditions can be granted a two-year deferment of deportation and apply for a work permit and leave certificate. Upon expiration, they can also apply for an extension. The Immigration Bureau has announced the relevant application requirements on August 3, and will begin accepting applications from August 15, 2012. Before preparing to apply, check to see if you meet the requirements of the USCIS: Under 31 years old on June 15, 2012 (that is, born on June 16, 1981 or later); - Direct proof required - entered the United States before your 16th birthday; - Direct proof required - illegally entered the United States before June 15, 2012, or lost legal status on June 15, 2012. If you are illegal now, it is too late) You have continued to reside in the United States from June 15, 2007 to the present; you were in the United States on June 15, 2012, and you were also in the United States when you submitted the application; - Direct proof is required - You must be over 15 years old when sending the application (if you are under 15 years old, but you are in deportation proceedings, you can also apply). You are in school at the time of submission, have graduated from high school or have a high school diploma, obtained a GED certificate, or are a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard or the U.S. Army; - Direct proof is required - Have not committed a criminal felony, serious violation of the law, or three or more violations, and will not pose a threat to U.S. national security or public safety. - Direct proof required - The application fee of the Immigration Bureau is US$465. You can apply for a work permit when applying for Deferred Action. If the Immigration Bureau rejects your application, you cannot ask the Immigration Bureau to reopen the case or reconsider (Motion to reopen or reconsider) or appeal (Appeal). After the Immigration Bureau approves your application, if you are due to humanitarian reasons, study or work, etc., you can apply for an Advance Parole from the Immigration Bureau. 2. I heard that the IRS is once again checking overseas accounts and income. Is this true? My husband and I work in China. We are both American citizens. We only come back to the United States for one month every year. What is the tax exemption? Answer: Starting from September 1, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service will launch a new overseas tax filing process for U.S. citizens living overseas (including those with dual citizenship). Filers only need to file personal taxes for the past three years (2009-2011) and foreign bank account declarations (FBAR) for the past six years (2006-2011). If the annual personal tax debt does not exceed US$1,500, it meets the new low-risk assessment category proposed by the IRS and will be granted fast clearance without criminal and tax penalties. Therefore, the IRS specially reminds applicants of the low-risk amnesty program to confirm that they have low-risk income before applying for amnesty, because once the IRS detects an error, the fast-track review will be converted into a high-risk review, with a maximum period of up to three years. The amount of the Form 2555 foreign earned income exemption is: $92,900 in 2011 for singles, heads of household, or married couples filing separately, and $95,100 for 2012, doubling that for married couples filing jointly. In addition, the IRS will deal with withdrawals in the same manner as in the overseas voluntary declaration program, including criminal investigation in separate cases, fines of 50%-75% calculated year by year on the taxpayer's assets for at least 8 years (2003 to 2010), and no more than 3 years in prison. The intention of the IRS is very obvious. It welcomes overseas taxpayers who have not yet surfaced to surrender. Those who meet the conditions will not be punished, but those who fish in troubled waters will be severely punished. Once taxpayers participate in the new procedures launched on September 1, 2012, they will not be eligible to participate in the third wave of overseas voluntary declaration programs launched on January 9, 2011. If you have withdrawn or become ineligible to participate in the Overseas Voluntary Declaration Program, you will not be eligible to participate in the new program. In addition, in the previous two waves of tax recovery, the filer first self-reported the fine?#36134;The bill?#65292;was reviewed and verified by the IRS before being notified of payment. This new plan is to pay the tax arrears and fines immediately with the declaration and no longer take credit. The first "amnesty" that ended on October 15, 2009 brought the IRS 2.2 billion in tax revenue and put it into the national treasury. The second "amnesty" that ended on September 9, 2011 has so far brought in another 2.8 billion to the IRS. Overseas tax sources have become a newly discovered gold mine for the IRS, so there is no deadline for the third wave of exploitation.
