  • Summary

  • Foreign-born US citizens, green card holders (immigrants) in the US, and foreign nationals on temporary nonimmigrant US visas, have unique financial & US tax compliance challenges as they straddle their multi-country footprint.

    US expats living abroad have somewhat similar challenges from having to deal with US taxes and foreign obligations.

    In "The International Money Café Podcast" Jane Mepham, CFP®, and Manasa Nadig, EA, address these unique challenges over a cup of Coffee/Chai in addition to talking about life in the US.

    Join them as they filter out the noise on cross-border taxes, finances, and life in the US, and save you hours combing the internet for information relevant to your situation.

    Jane & Manasa being foreign-born, are able to address these issues from a very personal and relatable point of view every other week, as they walk the same journey and pursue their own version of the American dream.

  • Ep 31: Five Important Financial Planning Questions For Foreign Born Families!
    Nov 13 2024
    In this solo episode, Jane Mepham discusses the five questions she asks to create the financial planning framework for foreign-born families.

    Each question has many nuances and determines which way we go with the plan.

    Jane believes any foreign-born individual should ask themselves these questions as part of the settling process in the US. Money is tied to all aspects of our lives.
    • What's your Immigration status?
    • What's tax residency status
    • What are your long-term residency status?

  • Ep 30: What Is English For "Green Card"?
    Oct 30 2024
    Yeah, it's not green anymore, but the name has persisted.

    Do you know why the Permanent Residency Card is called the Green Card?

    We answer this question and provide many more details about this "magic" document, which permits you to live and work permanently in the US if you are foreign-born.

    We know quite a bit about it, having previously held this card.

    We discuss the tax obligations and financial planning implications of being a green cardholder rather than a US citizen.

    It's challenging to get, based on your home country, but once you get it, you must be careful if you want to abandon it to do it right.

    Are you a green card holder? What questions do you have?
