Will there be any tax implications from Venmo transactions in FY21 given the new fees they introduced earlier this year? Neither I nor any people I have transacted with this past year have noted that anything was for goods/services regardless if that was actually the case so am wondering if there will be any changes as to how things are accounted for or if any new forms are being issued.

Any recommendations on anything apart from coinbase to buy BTC in usd? I am unable to find any platform using it. Please let me know if you guys are aware of any cheaper alternative. Want to try altcoins but looks most need BTC which in the end can only buy on coinbase. It takes higher fees and time for buying.

At a tech company with less than 50 people and $6 M Revenue.

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?

PwC people-how did you manage the global transfer? My rp is not responsive so far, hr just shares the list of local hr countries/contacts. What was important for you to find a non-us job? Tips?

On EAD. Anyone made the move to Canada, Europe, etc coz of the all immigration issues - H1B, DACA, etc. seriously thinking hard. limited options and so stressful to deal with.

Hardly any post here has a reply.. maybe the reason we are having visa issues is we are selfish and don’t want to help each other aka karma

Is there anyone who came to US for courses eligible for CPT and was successful in getting a job and staying through H1B process ? Will appreciate an opportunity to chat.

Hi,
I graduated last year and was working with my university until last month. I extended my STEM OPT with my university before July 5th (first year OPT expiry). I got a new opportunity right after submitting my application & I notified my change in employer (submitted updated I-20 & I-983).
Last Friday, I got another opportunity that is way better than the current one and I don't want to miss. My STEM OPT application is still under review. Would it be okay if I change my employer again. Thanks!

Can I file for EAD renewal more than 180 days in advance?
USCIS say we “generally speaking shouldn’t file for it with more than 180 days in advance” – but I’m asking if there’s any harm in doing so. I don’t want my 2019 EAD nightmare to happen again.

Anyone applied for an L1b extension recently? Wanted to know success rates

from logistic perspective..how are you guys transferring/moving your money from your US bank account? wire transfer? write yourself a check? idk about check, but cashing in $50k might raise a flag.

Ânyone planning UK or European countries

What the heck is going on with USCIS green card interviews ? I wait months for interview

If you leave the US because of failed H1B attempt with a L1 visa, how hard is it to move companies under the latter? If you decide to leave your employer, what is the process like to keep the visa?
