Wednesday's Last Word on Tuesday (The Virginia Gazette)
Brewery layoffs ?I am saddened to once again read about the high water rates Anheuser-Busch InBev is being charged by Newport News Waterworks. Layoffs at the brewery have already begun. Manpower reductions are happening as one way to offset the brewery?s high utility costs. The bottom line is that our local brewery can only stay competitive with the other breweries by resorting to these measure...

Some fiancé(e)s think they might want to get married, but are not 100% certain, and need more time to get to
know each other or to adjust to the new country. The fiancé(e) may qualify for a visitor visa if the intention
is not to get married in the USA (but to come and go and get married in another country, to return again on an
immigrant visa). However, by applying for a K-1, the foreign fiancé(e) may be much more open about their
intentions since the purpose of the visa is to allow a foreign citizen to remain in the United States for 90
days to get married, with the idea of living and working legally after marriage. If the intent to marry is
made clear enough, and something does happen that makes the couple decide not to marry, then the fiancé(e) may
leave the country without repercussions. However, in the case that the couple marry after entry on another type
of temporary visa, there are some penalties under the law. In many cases the marriage will be upheld and
immigrant status granted to the foreign spouse, but sometimes the foreign spouse risks being deported. Limitations
have also been put into place to discourage marriage by visitors on other visas. For example, a K1 visa may
not be issued to a recent student visitor (to discourage foreigners being students merely for the purpose of
meeting US spouses). Though the K1 visa may take more time in planning, it minimizes risks that wedding plans
will be scuttled at the last moment by a denial of admission.
Consider ongoing maintenance. How will you keep the house up if you're not there all the time, particularly if it's subject to a wide variety of weather conditions?
Factor in the cost of hiring a local individual or service to look after the property in your absence.

Check with the HOA, if there is one, for any restrictions on renting out your property. You may be limited in the amount of time the property can be occupied by someone else.
Look out for Uncle Sam, who gets into the act too: If you make a vacation home available for rent for more than 14 days in a year, the IRS categorizes it as an
income property rather than a residence. You'll be paying taxes on the net rental income after expenses, which could bump you into the next tax bracket.
