What did you do to get it applied to each account ?

I’m pretty sure it needs to be the Passport Office

I still get a “call us and quote error NH” with no VPN

I’m assuming these kinds of totals are only possible if you can pump business expenses through & tax payments ?

They say you need to file a return every 3y to keep it valid - so if they’re not sending you a notice of assessment etc, what happens then ?

It's not embossed, but it has 2 stamps with DFAT logo/Passport office etc on it. For those who have done the W7/1040NR combo (or had agents do it on their behalf), does the IRS eventually send you a notice of assessment based on that initial tax return ? That was what I interpreted the...

If you read the notes for the W7 form, it says it needs to be certified by: - issuing authority (hence our passport office) - a US embassy/consulate (but they will only do it via mail, and I didn't want to mail my passport around)

DP here for fellow tight-cough... I missed out on the bargain priced Maza, and couldn't justify spending ~$400 on an agent (and also didn't like the idea of sending copies of my passport etc to a random person on the internet) I filled out a W7 and 1040NR from the IRS website (declared $85...

Has anyone successfully done either a credit builder loan or a secured credit card to improve their score while waiting out the 12+ months until Chase is available ?

Looks like you need an existing Amex card ? I was hoping for something for P2 to use to get Au points across before closing her Au platinum...

It is frustrating that there is no longer a fee free US Amex option that accrues MR…

yes I’ve learnt the hard way… The first time it was actually iBKR’s fault - funds showed as available for withdraw before T+3 (they normally show as unavailable), so I thought they must have processed it super quickly This most recent time was my fault - I misread my balance as it shows a...

Really ?? On what grounds ?

Thanks, much appreciated

Does anyone know if a return payment charge (ie Amex unable to process a direct debit so they try again in a day but charge you $29 for the failed payment) would affect a subsequent GT ? I’ve had 2 failed direct debits (but they were processed the following day) due to mis reading of iBKR’s...

Yeah I started with the online chat who basically parroted the website, and referred me to the call centre or email. I also wanted a response in writing, so I emailed; the response wasn't very specific (despite my questions being quite specific !) However they did say: To my reading, it...

Thanks; so did you book the Europe stuff on a different card ? Was Amex/Chubb ok to cover that portion regardless ?

So I booked Syd-KL return flights and then KL-Europe flights on a different airline/ticket. Looking back through my records (flights booked ages ago), it appears I used my wife's new-at-the-time Amex to book the Syd-KL return flights in order to hit a sign up bonus, and my Amex for the...

23k aud, so around 15k usd I have only had my green card for 3-4 months, so don’t have the history yet I suspect. The biggest charge I have so far placed was around USD 4600, and that triggered a ‘pay down 2600 please’ email…

I did the 'Check spending power' on my green card, and it said they wouldn't currently approve a $15k charge. If I was to transfer $15k in first, then make the charge, would this work at all ? Or am I just setting myself up for a world of FR pain ? Was thinking about purchasing business class...
