  1. BIR planning to tax OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah, it's a big mistake and this is the natural reaction that is expected if such measures do happen. No one wants to have the feeling of being 'milking cows' and especially if the other one who is...

  2. BIR planning to tax OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    Actually you don't have to be in the US in a continuous basis, as in mandatory. Many children who are green card holders via family petition from the Philippines go back and forth from US and PI. Any...

  3. BIR planning to tax OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    Try to read the links pinoy_guy gave, it said there you can apply once you have accounted for 1/2 (30 mos.) of the 5 years for those who are LPRs and 1/2 (18 mos) of the 3 years for those who married...

  4. BIR planning to tax OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, that's what I've understood by the chart (in the very 1st row) in the 1st link that pinoy_guy gave and this is also how the lawyer I had watched not so long ago has explained it. It is 30 months...

  5. BIR planning to tax OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    I reckon the reason for the sudden interest of when it is the soonest possible time to apply for citizenship is the aforementioned scenario of double-taxation, which is the reaction

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    thanks for the links. the 1st link w/ the chart was esp. good. so, it's confirmed that it only takes 30 months of continuous physical presence in the us but will take 5 years if he gets in and out...

  7. BIR planning to tax OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    For what I know, It takes 5 years if it's 6 mos off and 6 mos on as most non-working green card holders do because time is only counted for actual time that a person is domicile in US soils so if one...

  9. BIR planning to tax OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    that's exactly what i'm saying as well. the affected worker will relinquish his filipino citizenship in a heart beat and would not think twice about it either. and if i'm not mistaken, if someone who...

  10. BIR planning to tax OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    It's counter-productive in my opinion. First and foremost is that these foreign-workers are already being taxed on the host country they are working in just like any citizens from that host country....

    lawrence01 replied to potatomasher's topic in International Nursing

    Definitely, finish he exams 1st and worry about the immigration and job-hunting later. You need to have proof of passing either NCLEX or the CGFNS exam for an employer to petition you and they can't...

    That is solely your decision. You may want to consult another lawyer for a 2nd opinion or advice on w/c is best but the decision will always be up to you and if you decide to go through w/ your FB...

  16. Philippine-rn Worlwide-rn

    lawrence01 replied to dave787's topic in International Nursing

    There are no problems w/ I-140's. I have never said anything about I-140s. That is going to be processed no matter what. Retrogression or not. After I-140, that's where retrogression officially steps...

  17. New RN at 40, needs help for experience or training

    lawrence01 replied to Ratio Nale's topic in International Nursing

    Why do hospitals do the above, anyway. It is because there are more supply than demand. We have so much graduates that the facilities can dictate what they want. Hospitals w/c require a completion of...

    lawrence01 replied to Ratio Nale's topic in International Nursing

    The better hospitals has always done this. It would be min. 2 year contract and one has to complete it for them to give any credit. Anything less would mean one has no proof of 'experience' that can...

    lawrence01 replied to rozmaril's topic in International Nursing

    You may want to consult another lawyer for a 2nd opinion but if you ask my opinion it's better to just stick to where you are right now. If retrogression is lifted, nurses will have a sub-category...
