I Am an Employer Uscis Form

So, you have three questions here. I am going to answer them in this order: how to do the change of status, whether you have to return to your country, and whether you’d be eligible to get an H-1B in the future.Change of status from H-1B to F-1For future readers, an H-1B is an employment visa. An employer sponsors someone who has (at least) a four-year degree to fill a position that the employer has open and cannot find an American citizen who has the right qualifications. An F-1 visa is a student visa.To change your status, you must file Form I-539. The thing to keep in mind here is that when you’re here on an F-1, you must have enough existing funds to support yourself during your stay. USCIS only allows extremely limited work options. In order for the USCIS to examine your financial ability to support yourself (and examine your petition), it’s going to take some time.Returning to your country and difficulty of changing statusNo, you do not have to return to your home country. Changing your status can take some time. You may have to do an interview. Your financial status will be examined. Your current H-1B would be void upon receiving the status change. So, based on the time it would take and what you would need to do to show your ability to self-support during your Master’s program, one could certainly consider that difficult. It is easier to do with the help of an immigration attorney.Getting another H-1B at the end of your studiesWhen you finish your Master’s program and if you can find an employer willing to sponsor you, yes you can get a second H-1B to finish out the time that you have left on your current H-1B.If you’d like to get help with your status transfer, consider LawTrades.

In addition to both you and the employee filling out the form, you need to do it within a certain time period, usually the first day of work for the employee. And as mentioned, you do need to keep them on file in case of an audit. You need to examine their eligibility documents (most often their passport, or their driver's license and social security card, and the list of acceptable documents is included on the form). You just need to make sure it looks like it's the same person and that they aren't obvious fakes.You can find the forms as well as instructions on how to fill them out here: Employment Eligibility Verification | USCIS On the plus side, I-9's aren't hard or time-consuming to do. Once you get the hang of it, it only takes a few minutes.

I-9, W-4, state W-4, and some sort of state new hire form. The New hire form is for dead beat parents. Don’t inform the state in time and guess what? You become personally liable for what should have been garnished from their wages.From the sound of your question I infer that you are trying to make this a DIY project. DO NOT. There are just too many things that you can F up. Seek yea a CPA or at least a payroll service YESTERDAY.

April 2013,Seattle, WA.Amazon had filed for my initial H1B as soon as I graduated and I was among the lucky folks who got approved in the very first attempt; since it is a lottery system there are never any guarantees so I was thankful to get the hassle over with. I’ve spent the last 6 years on the visa and will probably spend a fair few more before my green card processing is complete.My experience as an H1-B visa holder seems to be almost the opposite of what many answers to this question have described; that was one of the reasons I chose to write about it. I’ve worked at Amazon as an SDE and at Microsoft as a PM; at both these jobs, people have always treated me with love and respect. I have NEVER felt discriminated against even in the slightest; in fact, most people trust you more because you’ve worked harder than many to get to where you are. Even outside of work; people in Seattle have always been very friendly and welcoming, and, most people are interested in hearing your stories and journey from back home.I am able to travel abroad and fly back to India whenever I like, barring a couple of months every three years when I need to get my visa renewed; there is some paperwork involved here that the lawyers completely take care of and my only job in it all is to go get my visa stamped at the consulate. I pay the same taxes as any resident; enjoy all the same rights and privileges (except voting and jury duty) and live the same quality of life as any other regular citizen. When I purchased automobiles and property, banks never hesitated to give me a loan; on the contrary, I was always offered signNowly better interest rates because I worked for a “preferred employer”. H1-B visa holders in hubs like Seattle, the Bay Area, New York, Chicago, Boston, Austin, Atlanta, etc. are very respected members of the community; they bring in jobs, they bring in money, they enrich the overall economy.Sure there is some angst in the minds of the old timer locals who were displaced; many who used to live in the quaint and quiet little town by the lake called Seattle 12 years ago despite the large corporations and the people who work there because they were the reason they got displaced from their homes. But this is a relatively small number; the huge influx of H1-B workers in the above hubs has created so many jobs in the service and property markets that most people are thrilled by your existence and value you.How is your life as an H1-B visa holder?I work a job that I absolutely love with some of the most brilliant people in the world as co-workers and mentors; the learning opportunities are beyond anything I could ever have hoped for.I earn more money than I know how to spend which gives me the opportunity to invest and save for my future and any unforeseeable circumstances that might arise.I feel extremely safe in my city; I’m treated with so much love and respect everywhere I go and I have the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world in this diverse cultural melting pot.I pay my taxes and enjoy my privileges as a resident; the infrastructure is spectacular; the local and federal governing bodies take care of everything I need and care about right from roads, water, electricity, internet, parks, hiking trails, forests and about a dozen other things.I have a circle of friends and family in my city who I share my journey with; we ride the highs and the lows together and have grown bonds that tie us together through the good times and the bad. Sure I miss my friends and family back home in India, but never once have I felt lonely or isolated; never have I felt like a stranger in a strange land.I am HAPPY. Yes there is a little element of uncertainty that comes with changing governments, yes there is some extra paperwork I need to do every three years, yes there is the possibility that I might someday be asked to pack up and leave; but those are things that are beyond my control so I see no point in complaining about them; they are the tradeoff, the tax you pay as an H1-B visa holder for all the privileges that it offers you.The climb to the summit is always one step at a time; might as well enjoy the steps.Note: I will write separate answers about the procedure to get your first H1B as well as renewals, RFEs and what they mean, the various pros and cons of being on H1B, etc. since clearly many people are interested in this information.In case we haven’t met before, I’m Rohan Kamath.Thank you for reading. I hope I could help you ponder today. :)

**UPDATE** After my answer was viewed over 4,100 times without a single upvote, I revisited it to see where I might have gone wrong with it. Honestly, it seems like a reasonable answer: I explained what each of the forms asked about is for and even suggested getting further information from a licensed tax preparer. BUT, I’m thinking I missed the underlying concern of the querent with my answer. Now I’m reading that they don’t care so much about the forms as they do about the right or, more accurately, the obligation of their employer to withhold taxes at all.So let me revise my answer a bit…Your employer doesn’t charge you taxes - the government does. The government forces employers to withhold (or charge, as you put it) taxes from the earnings of their employees by threatening fines and even jail time for failing to do so (or for reclassifying them as independent contractors in order to avoid the withholding and matching requirements). Whether you fill out any forms or not, employers will withhold taxes because they don’t want to be fined or go to jail.Now the meta-question in the question is how can the government tax its citizen’s income? Well, that’s a big debate in America. Tax is the only way governments make money and they use that money to provide services for their constituency. Without funding, no federal or state or county program, or employee, would exist. But still, some people believe taxation is illegal, unjustified, and flat out wrong. They believe that free market forces should fund the military, the Coast Guard, Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Border Patrol, the FBI, CIA, DEA, FDA, USDA, USPS, the Federal Prison Complex, the National Park Service, the Interstate Highway System, air traffic control, and the Judiciary (just to name a few things). They even believe paying politicians for the work they do, like the President and Congress, is wrong.Others (luckily, most of us) appreciate paying taxes, even if they seem a bit steep at times. We’re happy to benefit from all the things our tax dollars buy us and we feel what we pay gives us back returns far greater than our investment. If you’re on the fence about this issue, consider how expensive health care is and how much you’re getting out of paying for it privately (out of your own paycheck). Same with your education or that of your children. Do you pay for private schools? Private colleges? Do you pay for private child care too? All expensive, right?Well what if we had to pay for private fire fighting? Or all mail had to be shipped via FedEx or UPS? Or if the cost of a plane ticket to anywhere doubled because we had to pay out-of-pocket for air traffic control? What about the military, border control and veterans? How much are you willing to pay out of every paycheck DIRECTLY to the department of defense AND veterans affairs? If we privatized the military, would we still be able to afford $30 billion dollar fighter jets? Who would pay to defend us?I bet people living paycheck to paycheck would be hard pressed to find extra money to pay for the military, when they’re already spending so much for teachers, schools, health care, local emergency response, food safety inspections, social workers, the criminal justice system, road repairs and construction, bridge inspection and maintenance, and natural disaster remediation (just to name a few things).Think about if all the national and local parks were privatized. Visiting one would cost as much or more than it does to go to Disneyland. Think about how much more food would cost if farmers weren’t subsidized and food wasn’t inspected for safety. Imagine how devastating a pandemic would be without the Center for Disease Control to monitor and mitigate illness outbreaks.We all take for granted the myriad of benefits we get from paying taxes. We may like to gripe and moan but taxes aren’t just for the public good, they’re for our own. (That rhymes!)**END OF UPDATE**W-9 forms are what you fill out to verify your identification, or citizenship status, for your employers. They have nothing to do with payroll taxes other than being the primary tool to from which to glean the correct spelling of your name and your Social Security number.W-2 forms are issued by employers to employees for whom they paid the required payroll taxes to the government on their behalf. The W-2 also details the amount of a person’s pay was sent to the government to fund their Social Security and Medicare accounts. W-2 forms are necessary for people when filing their personal income taxes so they can calculate if they under or overpaid.W-4 forms are filled out by employees to assure that the appropriate amount of pay is being withheld (and transferred on their behalf) by their employers to the government. If you don’t fill out a W-4 then your employer withholds the standard default amount for a single individual. You can update your W-4 at any time with your employer and you may want to when the size of your household changes.Even if you aren’t an employee (like you get paid without taxes being withheld for you) and are issued a 1099-MISC form instead of a W-2, you’re STILL responsible for paying your taxes as you earn that money - in no greater than quarterly installments. If you go over three months without paying taxes when you’re making money - whether your employer is withholding it and paying it on your behalf or you just made the money and no one took any taxes out for you - you’ll be fined and charged interest on your late tax payments.Talk with a licensed tax preparer and they can help you better understand what it all means. Good luck and happy tax season!

The I-485 form was updated in June 2017!Here is a guide on how to fill out the latest I-485.

I wrote about the independent-contractor-vs-employee issue last year, see http://nctaxpro.wordpress.com/20...Broadly speaking, you are an employee when someone else - AKA the employer - has control over when and where you work and the processes by which you perform the work that you do for that individual. A DJ or bartender under some circumstances, I suppose, might qualify as an independent contractor at a restaurant, but the waitstaff, bus help, hosts, kitchen aides, etc. almost certainly would not.There's always risk in confronting an employer when faced with a situation like yours - my experience is that most employers know full well that they are violating the law when they treat employees as independent contractors, and for that reason they don't tolerate questions about that policy very well - so you definitely should tread cautiously if you want to keep this position. Nonetheless, I think you owe it to yourself to ask whether or not the restaurant intends to withhold federal taxes from your checks - if for no other reason than you don't want to get caught short when it comes to filing your own return, even if you don't intend to challenge the policy.
