发帖数: 2013 | 5 婚姻是财产、法律义务和继承概念。好的婚姻需要爱，爱不需要婚姻。但是活在社会上
，如果你爱对方和双方的爱情结晶，你会在法律上保护对方的世俗权利。在很多州法院
判决同性恋可以结婚的winning argument不是同性恋也有真爱，是无婚姻同性couple
财产和法律关系不受相应保护（收养、生育、继承、医疗保险coverage，婚姻存续期间
共同共有财产，人身保险受益人，一方去世以后另外一方能够继续享受对方名下的退休金
和其他社会保障金，等等等等），所以给予他们结婚的权利。婚姻是为了培养下一代出现
的。如果你不打算留后代，任何形式的法律化责任都是不必要的。爱是变化的，但是孩子
一生，责任就是几十年。如果人随性而至，社会抚养孩子的成本会非常高。
举个例子。麻省合法化同性婚姻的判决里面，对于婚姻的现实意义是这样表述的：
The benefits accessible only by way of a marriage license are enormous,

如果你和你LP每人都是F1到2013年没满5年，而你2013年H1b满183天，那么你是dual-
status（F1期间NR、H1b期间R）。然后，因为你2013年底是resident，你LP（2013年底
时你们是已婚的吧）也可以跟你一起全年Treated as a Resident，夫妻合报。
first year choice是指如果2013年H1b不满183天，才需要file extension。你不需要

发帖数: 29846 | 42 Changes Meant to Protect the Poor Are Mandating Bigger Alimony Payouts
By SOPHIA HOLLANDER
When New York adopted no-fault divorce in 2010 after decades of failed
attempts, lawyers and families praised legislators for eliminating the need
for one of the bitterest elements of a divorce: assigning blame.
More than a year later, critics say more troubling aspects of the reform
package have emerged.
A New York divorce law passed in 2010 set a strict formula for judges
awarding temporary alimony. Sond... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 2 | 43 先说下我的情况：resident alien, H1B，已婚，老婆在国内，去年来这呆了2月，在国
内有收入。
我可以选择 Married jointly 或者 separately. 听朋友说还可以用 Single，因为
Single 税率比 Married separately 要划算，而 Deduction 和 Married separately
一样，所以总的交税会更划算。
但经过一天的研究，Married jointly 更划算。首先，税率低，Deduction 多就不用说
了。关键的是能不能这么做？国内的收入要不要上税？如果考虑这些，是否还是划算？
我的结论是：能这么做，国内收入要上税，但还是通常都划算（因为有 Foreign Earned
Income Exclusion）
希望我的研究能帮助大家省税。如果有啥错误也请各位大拿尽早指出。

发帖数: 23 | 44 你好，
感谢您上次的建议，但是我有个情况还没有仔细说明，我2013年年底11月11-12.22 回
国呆了40天，所以，我自己无法满足2013年年底至少31天，而且75%时间在美国这个规
定，成为 making the first-year choice for 2013.只有我老公可以满足。
但是我发现519第八页中提到了如下：
A similar choice is available if, at the end of the tax year, one spouse is
a nonresident alien and the other spouse is a U.S. citizen or resident. See
Nonresident Spouse Treated as a Resident ,

citizen or a resident alien and the other spouse is a nonreside... 阅读全帖 |

The MAGI is calculated from the lines on the tax return. There is only one
MAGI per tax return. If you and your spouse file jointly, then you will have
the same MAGI, from your shared tax return. If you and your spouse file
separately, each of you will have a separate MAGI, but the income limit is
much lower for that filing status.

发帖数: 1068 | 47 However, filing the I-485 allows you and your wife to also apply for EADs,
whereas if you want to go the consular processing (“CP”) route, we cannot
do anything until the I-140 is approved – the USCIS will then forward the
petition to the National Visa Center (“NVC”) which will then send us a
packet of forms and info, and eventually will forward the case to the US
Embassy/Consulate in India, which will schedule your (and spouse’s/children
