Can I buy a house in my name if my wife refuses to buy or sign any escrow papers or even quit claim deed?
In a community property state such as California, a married person may buy a property in his/her name but the other spouse must sign a quit claim deed indicating they want no part of the transaction. There must be some reason your wife is not interested in real estate investingg. You did not indicate what these reason were. Not knowing this puts a damper on any advice given concerning you doing real estate investin on your own. Lying on a legal document indicating you are a single person when you are married is fraud. This could lead to legal problems down the road along with being arrested for real estate fraud. The best way to do this if you still want to do real estate investing is to form a corporation. You will have to seek help from your tax consultant and others that give you advise you trust. There are several different corporations you may form. Some allow you and the corporation to act as one entity for tax purposes, therefore your wife will be required to be involed because you might be filing your income tax as a married couple plus the corporation. There are others that allow the corporation to be taxed alone and you act as an employee of the corporation and you file taxes on the payments received from the corporation. You should check with your tax consultant as to which is best for you. Forming a corporation and buying property under the corporation's name degates the requirement of your wife to sign for any property owned by the corporation. Keep in mind that if you plan to purchase property through the corporation that it must qualify for a mortgage loan as if it was an individual with the same requirements. Two years of fed income taxes, the ability to repay the mortgage and proof that it can. Assets as well as bank accounts with bank statements to prove the assest exist. You might still purchase a property with the corporation and the corporation even if the corporation does not fully qualify for a mortgage. The lender would require a personal gurantee meaning they would require you to sign both as an executive of the corporation as well as yourself personally guaranting the loan. This is called a recourse loan. If the corporation can qualify on it's own then it would be called a non-recourse loan. I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck. "FIGHT ON"

If one's Schengen visa application has been rejected then will all Schengen visa member states reject his or her future Schegen visa applications?
A2A.No.Though each Schengen state knows about the visa rejection, each time your visa application is viewed as a fresh application.When your visa is rejected there is a reason/s for the rejection.When you apply again you have to eradicate that reason which have caused the rejection and mention this in your cover letter.When you apply again, clearly state that you had applied for the Schengen visa on such a date (if you remember), the file number and the reason for rejection, and how you have worked towards solving that reason.You stand a fair chance to get the visa.Good luck.
My Schengen visa got rejected with points 8 and 9, should I apply again?
Just to add to the other answer, I am mentioning below what I had recently jotted in my blog.Schengen Visa - Rejection Reasons and RemediesPoint 8 - The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliableYou might have given them all documents regarding your stay and tickets and still been refused with this reason. You never know what made them think your reason didn’t justify your intention.However there can be scenarios like –Scenario 1 – Let’s say you have mentioned (ticked) tourism as your purpose of travel. That said, all your documents talk about visiting a family or a friend and no itinerary of tours!Scenario 2 – In the application form, if you have chosen the purpose is to visit family/friends, and that you will be staying with them, then you will have to give all details about their resident status. The invite letter should be endorsed by the right authority and their address should be clear to verify their stay.Basically, whatever is your purpose of travel, you should be able to justify it with the right documents.Point 9 - Your intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa could not be ascertainedYou should show them your confirmed return ticket. Additionally, keep in mind that you don’t have hotel bookings or tour dates in the itinerary that shows a date after your return ticket date. This could happen accidently.Also, make sure that you have a no objection letter from your Employer or a leave letter that states you would be back to work after the said dates.This reason is also given if, let’s say, you mention 10th as your date of return on the application form but your return ticket date is 15th instead!Any such mismatch could make them think twice about your intentions of return. Ensure what you fill in your application form is justified flawlessly with your documents of proof!
Is it required to sign a write up at work?
Whether she signs it or not, in reality, is irrelevant. The signing of it doesn't mean she agrees with it, only that she saw it. If she doesn't sign it, I write on there, "given on 12/28/07 at 7:00 pm...Jane Doe refused to sign." If a witness was in the room (which I always have if I'm giving a write up to a member of the opposite sex), I would have that person sign as a witness that the person did in fact receive the write up and refused to sign it. I've never fired anyone for refusing to sign, I could care less if they sign, it still goes in their file either way and it is perfectly legal to put in their file without their signature. If the person was someone who I truly wanted to fire on the spot, I'd just fire them. I don't need a reason to fire them in my state, as the law says I can fire them for any reason or no reason. Of course, in practice, I would have reasons to fire the person other than refusal to sign the write up as its not good business to just go around firing good workers.
When applying for a US visitor visa, is it advisable to disclose that the person is my boyfriend?
US consular officers get pretty good at being able to tell when a visa applicant is lying; we don’t necessarily know what the lie is, but know that it’s there so will refuse the applicant just on that principle. So it’s best to simply tell the truth frankly and openly. Many, many friends and lovers of US citizens acquire US tourist visas every day.True story here:While working the visa line in Paris, in about 1988, I refused a visa to a young man from (I think) Yugoslavia, a refugee in Paris with a girlfriend in the US, no home, no job, no family in France, no passport except for a French refugee travel document, and very good English. A textbook-perfect intending immigrant. When I refused him, he said, “Yes, I figured you’d say that and it’s okay. It’s just that I have a job lined up that won’t start until next month, she’s on a school break, and this is the perfect time to see her and meet her family. Thanks anyway.”Couldn’t get him out of my mind. I KNEW he was telling the truth. So the next day I asked one of the FSNs to find his application form, we called him, asked him to come back in, sent a cable to Washington asking permission to issue a visa (a procedural formality required because he had no valid passport), and sent him off with my best wishes.A month later who should come striding into the consular section but the young man himself, his US girlfriend with him, to show me that he had returned, she had decided to move to Paris to be with him, and my trust was not misplaced. He gave me a sweet, touching gift - a cheap picture book of Budapest, that I got permission from my boss to accept and still have. Thousands and thousands of visa applicants later, he’s one that I will never forget.
Once an Australian visa has been rejected, after how many months can you reapply?
You can re-apply or make an appeal anytime after denial unless it was specifically stated otherwise. But before making any move, you have to understand the following:Possible Reasons for Denial: Most common reasons are lack of funds, failure to meet Australia’s health code, lack/inconsistency in the details of your application, you applied for the wrong type of visa, you failed to meet Australia’s health requirements, etc.Available Remedy: If your application was refused, a Decision Record will be provided and any avenues for appeal will be stated if it is applicable to you. This would also detail the reason for the decision and what legislative requirement you failed to meet. It is always an option to just start a fresh application anytime unless there is an indicated time gap on the visa refusal letter.Remember: There should be a "significant change" on your situation, whether it’s family, economic, or social. Eg. You didn’t have a source of income then, but now you’re gainfully employed. Or you were single when you first applied, but now you’re married with a man who has a good paying job. If there’s no significant change, then there’s a very slim chance that the Consul will change his mind.I find this article very helpful: How To Handle Tourist Visa Rejections (And What You Can Do to Avoid It). Good luck!
