Re: closure of business (single proprietorship)

 

In addition to what coychee advised, I believe your bro has to go to the Bureau of Internal Revenue and get a tax clearance.

Also, he has to inform the city or municipal government (city/municipal hall) that he is ceasing business operations so that he wont have penalties for non payment of local taxes, etc.

Bonito99, Freelicker, maraming salamat po.

 

I think the guy holds a Japanese passport. Hirap ng situation sa union namin ngayon kase may loyalty issues not only with this guy but with some other members. This guy is using the system to his advantage, he knows that it would be hard to proove that he is leeking info to management and his loyalty is with management kaya he is getting away with murder. Anyway, someday all of these things will catch up with him.

 

Salamat po ulit ng marami. It's nice to have you people whom we could consult with our legal concerns.

if i may interject.

 

would you know when the marriage was celebrated? you're correct in saying that the marriage is void only if it was celebrated after the Family Code took effect in 1988. assuming that the marriage is indeed void, the kids are illegitimate.

 

you say the guy's using the kids to milk money from the girl. do you mean that the guy is threatening to take custody of the kids if the girl doesn't give him money? if this is the case then ...

 

1. do you know how old the kids are?

 

custody of children below 7 years of age is normally granted to the mom. the exception to this rule is when the mom is "unfit" to have custody, such as when she is of loose morals.

 

2. if there is no compelling reason for the courts to deviate from the general rule in no. 1 above, then i suggest that the girl file a petition for declaration of nullity of the marriage.

 

i hope this helps. but there are other issues concerning this matter that should be threshed out, such as support and the property relations of the parties. if you want, you (or your friend) can email me.

my wife went to u.s. 3 yrs ago with a valid 10 yr  multiple  tourist visa and she stayed there for 2 weeks to visit some relatives. when she came back, we tried applying for a visa thru drop box procedure which includes me and my 5 yr old son. however, we were scheduled for an interview a few months later. at the time of the interview, we only have a little over 200 thou in our bank account and i thought this was not enough. so i went to some people who are making bank accounts and sure enough, they added a few thousand pesos in our bank account.

 

during the interview, the consul only asked for the bank account. he chcked the bank  and found out that  there was misrepresentation on our part. (fraud) he cancelled(without prejudice) my wife's tourist visa and denied me and my son.

 

now this is our situation, my wife is also a nurse  and she was sponsored by a hospital for E-3 visa ( employment based immigrant visa) which includes the whole family. we have an upcoming interview next month. will our previous problem be brought up during our immigrant visa interview and will this somehow affect our application for immigrant visa eventhough our previous problem was due to our tourist visa? thanks for the advice guys!

during your interview, did you submit a fake bank certification or the consul just figured out that there is an unusual deposit of several thousands on an authentic bank certification clearly indicating that the same was made for interview purposes?

 

the rule of thumb kasi, whenever applying for a US visa, whether immigrant or not is to TELL THE TRUTH. yes, even if it means divulging a disqualification or some facts that may result in a denial of your application. this is so because that leaves you a chance to make things right for your next application.

 

making a material misrepresentation in your application constituting fraud may result in the denial of your application and even a lifetime ban from US entry. one good thing though, as your facts suggest, no such ban has been imposed on you.

 

whether or not the issue can still come up in your current application is positive. it does not matter that your application then is different from the present, to the US authorities, fraud is still fraud. the consul will definitely be able to pull out the fact from their data base during your interview.

 

as to how much effect it will have on your current EB3 application, depends largely on how picky your (interviewing vice)consul will be on the matter and how well can you explain your side. if the bank certification was authentic although showing dubious deposits, you can find a REAL good explanation. otherwise, i strongly suggest that you take this up with your US immigration attorney (preferably the one who filed the petition in behalf of your wife's employer and for your benefit) since this can be serious.

 

in all fairness though, i see some positive indications on your case. first, when the petition was filed with the USCIS (formerly INS), there was already an opportunity to deny the same by reason of your prior 'misrepresentation' but the USCIS instead approved your petition and forwarded your case to the National Visa Center for processing. second, the need for nurses here in the US is still on the rise, hence, the possibility that they may take a 'let go' stance. and finally, you still have an interview, so go ahead and prepare for it. if you have further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

thanks guyz... i think what i need is a tv tuner

[menime]

thanks guyz... i think what i need is a tv tuner

ei ms sexy, dont go out and buy a tv tuner just yet, from the looks of it and from what i've read, you want to use your pc monitor to view the feed from your hospital's closed circuit surveilance camera's (am I right or wrong) If this is the case a regular tv tuner wo't do the trick unless your feed is coming from an RF source. I dont want to bore you with more technical details as i see you are already confused, but i guess i have to ask a few more question, what type of connection does the camera's have, does it have the usual RCA-(these are the regular once that you see in your vcr's and dvd players) or does it have something that is really unfamiliar, anyway if it has rca's what you need is a video card with vivo (video in video out) the one you have only has video out from your pc... the video-in thing is where you would patch the camera so youd be able to view it in your monitor. But before you can view the feed you gotta set-up the right software to view it, anyway it is usually suppled with the card.

 

hope this helps

thanks for the advice panero! we already consulted with the lawyer of the hospital handling our immigration and he said that we need to apply and wait for the decision of the interviewing officer. my wife is not contented with the lawyers advice, do you think we should hire an independent lawyer to handle our case? i heard a certain michael gurfinkel hanndling this types of cases. what do you think?

 

do we have to wait and see or do we need to act now by hiring a lawyer? or will this be a waste of time and money?

with all due respect dun sa lawyer for the petitioner, panero, i believe he's acting for the hospital's interest more than yours. a reactionary stance is not what you will want. preventing a denial i believe is more prudent than planning for an appeal, which in most cases will end up in a dismissal.

 

what you have is a delicate situation where your past might cause more harm that it already has. it being so, talking with a qualified immigration attorney will allow you to prepare yourselves for the interview. what to say and what not to. interviewing vice consuls are trained how to ask searching questions that we as visa applicants unfortunately cannot object to.

 

also, if fate is in your favor and you get past the vice consul, still you will need to have your attorney's number handy just in case the receiving immigration officer gives you trouble, which we all of course hope won't happen.

 

michael gurfinkel is one of the certified immigration attorneys you may consider approaching. he is rather known among filipinos here in the US having done cases for celebrities like regine velasquez, who faced a prior ban due to some of her entourage going 'TNT'. he is not known to be cheap though, but i believe he has an office in makati. don't hesistate to call, anyway, most of them offer (in fact advertise) free initial consultation.

 

i don't believe he will charge you much for the consultation for the interview. anyway, the petition having been approved, he need not intervene as counsel at this time. what you need is just his advise on how to go about the interview. finally, no matter how much reasonable sum you'll pay is certainly worth protecting the $335 fee you need to pay each for your son and yourself (your wife's will be paid for by the petitioner i suppose), as well as the $150 or so that you need for medical examination at st. louise and defintely worth the peace of mind and the confidence you'll get going into the interview.

 

hope things work out fine.... let me know if there are more questions you need to be answered, panero. btw, which state will you be headed for?
