To be honest, I feel the same way. But I think it is always nice to buy anything for the loved ones, especially for parents. Don't you think so?

Thank you so much for that! I really appreciated it! The thing is I don't have any chinese bank card. Do you know any local florist who accepts visa or master card? I thought they all, did these days. That's how I order. Wait a minute, what's Chinese bank card got to do with it? what i meant was many of the stores don't accept foreign cards. sorry, forget to mention that i am trying to buy flowers and ship it to somewhere in china.

Anyone knows any reliable online flower stores for mother's day? Any answer would be appreciated !

Thanks, dnoblett. That really helps.

Need help guys! Do I need to print out all the pages for the tax return or just one that shows we filled our tax jointly? And Do I need the past two years or just a year's tax return? Thanks in advance.

It depends where you want to live. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai are just as expensive as in the U.S, maybe even more expensive. You won't get as much respect as before since China is getting more international.

That's very nice of you to let me know that anyway. Thank you and wish you have a great trip and happy new year!

No one is going back to China that day?

When I took the test for my permit, I don't remember the DMV even asked for my passport. I just showed them my state ID. Maybe states have different rules .

sleeping pills... Hehe, thanks.

Wow, sounds like it is a great airline and you have had a really good trip too! Thank you for all the information very much. By the way, do I need to pick up my luggage when i get there?

Anyone goes back to china through Asian airline from chicago in Jan 14th? And there will be a connecting flight in Korea. If so, please contact me, so we can go together since I am going back to china myself. Jesus! Just think about I am going to be spending 13 hours on the plane alone gives me headache.

Not only becoming a US citizen allows you to vote, it also allows you to sit on a jury! I just got my jury duty day but I am not a U.S citizen yet. Is this normal?

Usually it takes about 3 months. But some people got it in a couple of month and it took me almost 6 months to get it. Good luck!

Many thanks, guys. It really helped me a lot.

She told me that USCIS didn't update my profile in the system. By the way, if i want to go back to China would it be easier if I go to the consulate and get a sticker or something like that to indicate I have a new name. Your green card name should be there by now. If not, make an InfoPass appointment to gt it straightened out. Yes, you can get a passport supplement to show the new name. Can you tell me what i should do to get a passport supplement? Thanks a lot.

Can my husband claim me as dependent? I was not a citizen until Jan o9, no income.

It's the new name on my green card.

Is anyone here whose wife had her name changed after marriage? I had my my changed and I wanted to get my SSN statue changed which means I wanted the "not authorized to work with DHS" disappear from my SSC after I had received my GC. So I went to the local social security office they told me they can not give me a replacement card because my name in the USCIS system is still the name that appears on my passport which is my maiden name. Anyone has any idea or been through the same situation?

Thanks sooooo much for all you guys! I actually called IRS yesterday after I post this and the service was amazing. My English level is limited especially when it comes with tax stuff through the phone. She was so patient and tried to explain to me every single question which I had trouble to understand. After I explained my situation to her she told me only Form 1040EZ and Form 1096 will be needed since we want file jointly and we have other income resources. Thanks again guys.

Hi, everyone First of all, since my husband is so busy with his work so I am just searching around about tax filling and post this here myself, hope you guys can understand and ignore my poor English. Here is my situation: I entered the U.S in Feb of 08 and was not an legal permanent residence until Jan 09. I did not make any money[what about the interest I made through our joint bank account] until now but my husband and I are think of filing tax jointly[what about the interest I made through our joint bank account]. But we, especially me have no clue what I should do and what forms will be involved. So hope I will get some help through candleforlove since there are so many intelligent people. Many thanks in advance!

You are still a alien authorized to work until you received your GC. Anyway, congratulations!
