Witness? Where do you get that requirement. And the SSA uses electronic signature to apply for benefits; so why can't they do the same for the 7162 form?????????

Yet a completed 1st notice form sent to the SSA FROM a US Post Office in California in late Aug/early Sept, and yet receiving that 2nd notice dated up to 8 weeks after I mailed the first one from California?

No guarantee that’ll work either. I sent my first notice response from a Post Office in California in August and yet got the 2nd notice dated 17 October last week

I received the first notice/7162 in July and as I was traveling to the U.S. in August I took it with me and mailed it from a USPO facility- using the addressed envelope provided with the 7162. Last week I received the damn second notice; so thinking you're safe mailing it within the U.S. is not a guarantee. I suspect my first form arrived fine but hasn't been processed due to volume. I'll be sending that second notice by Thai airmail...

Well I received a 2nd Request dated Oct 27. What really frosts me is I received the 1st Request dated June 27 and as I was traveling to the U.S. in late August I took the completed form and mailed it back to the SSA from a U.S. Post Office in California the beginning of September!!!!

Which was the same instruction for me. I was quite surprised that I had to que up. So lesson is that service is not guaranteed regardless of the hour or IMM commitment

Yeah? I went at 1pm on my appointed day to pick up my marriage EOS stamp and still had to get a que number and waited 2 ½ hours in a totally full crowded facility just to get that stamp.

We live in Doi Saket. 2 separate up and down jolts.

Could there be a difference in O & OA Non Immigrant EOS in when a TM 30 is required for those returning to Thai to the same address? I didn’t need one for my recent EOS based on marriage (OA Visa originally)

Could it be that it is not required but since you went to CM IMM to report they processed it anyway? I just returned last night from being outside the country with my re entry permit going back to my same residence of 10 years and don’t plan to report

While you had your bank data rejected, I've always- for the last 10 years- used a Fix Deposit Account and NEVER have I had to make a deposit. The updated bank book and letter were all that has been required.

Maybe it's related to Blinkin's visit to Thailand...senior consulate staff need to attend meetings in Bangkok & Consulate will re-open after the Secretary of State departs?

Got mine 2 days ago. Appreciated that information re regular airmail being faster than registered. Inasmuch I’ll be in the US for a brief visit soon I’ll be taking my form w me and mailing it while I am there

Go to Thonglor Animal Hospital- Outer Ring near Meechok Plaza. Highly skilled staff and this is in their wheelhouse. When a tumor was removed from our dog 2 months ago, they then referred us to the Small Animal Hospital for further treatment (the tumor was determined to be high grade cancer)- also good. (Our dog is doing well, no sign of cancer spreading)

Sounds like some banks won’t update your FD passbook without a deposit. Then you certainly would have to do that. But if your bank, like my Bangkok Bank is, they’ll update the FD passbook upon request without having to make any deposit or withdrawal

My FD is with Bangkok Bank

I’ve never have made (or had to make) any deposit in my fix account when I obtain the bank letter. My passbook is updated at the time I request the bank letter which matches then the passbook.

Where one obtained their extension of stay is immaterial to where you must send or physically report your 90 days notification. The immigration office which is responsible for the address where you reported your notification of residence (TM30) is where one must report to in person or by mail. Doing the 90 days report online facilitates being able to report from anywhere you may be; however the address stipulated in your 90 days report must be the same as your TM30 or your 90 days notification may not be approved. That has been my experience for the last 11 years

Your 90 days notification (TM47) must be submitted to the Immigration Office (“cognizant”) which you reported your TM30 Notification of Residence. In practice you can submit your online 90 days notification from any location you may be at the time. If you choose to submit your 90 days report by mail, you must send it to the cognizant Immigration Office. If you choose to submit the 90 days report in person it can only be accomplished at said cognizant Immigration Office. As I learned last October when I was vacationing in Koh Samui and visited the Immigration Office there, they first refused to take action due to the fact my current TM30 established my residence as being in Chiang Mai. Ultimately the Samui IO processed my 90 days report but only after they amended my TM30 record as now residing in Koh Samui. When I returned to my home in Chiang Mai I then went online and updated again my TM30 record as residing in Chiang Mai. In January I processed my 90 days report online without any problem.

I don’t know what your experience reading tax laws might be but I do know you didn’t read my posts either. The IRS supervisor whom I spoke with had my “rejected “ amended returns reviewed again and those were approved and back taxes paid were refunded to me. Two other amended returns were also accepted and refunds were provided. I did not seek anyone’s verbal advice or opinion; I asked the IRS to explain their initial rejections claiming no tax treaty had been cited in my amended returns. That resulted in the IRS re-reviewing and accepting all 4 amended returns and refunding those taxes previously paid.

I have been doing my own TM30’s online as well. When I checked the database a month ago all of my records had disappeared.

Thats one specious argument. As I wrote earlier I received 2 letters from the IRS rejecting 2 amended returns. The letters stated that I had not cited the treaty/proper treaty. I chose to contact the IRS to do a check on my tax preparers submittals and that call resulted in a quick affirmation by the IRS my amended returns were proper and correct. Clearly the IRS DID concur the application of the treaty to my returns were correct and NOT something that they decided to “pursue later”

What proof can you furnish that no other U.S. tax filer in any of the other foreign countries with similar tax treaties haven't filed similar exemptions and have been rejected- or not rejected?
