can the immigration service of the usa take money out of your personal acc.?

NO. Not if you authorize them via some sort of a payment that you made to them e.g check or via atm... actually let me take that back. INS does not accept personal checks or payment via a debit card. either US Postal Money Order or a Bank Draft. So the answer is NO they cannot take money out of your personal account. \n\nIf you screwed up they could get a fedral ... (something) to seal your assets in which case you won't be able to access your money. But that's all.

Yes.  If you have personal account, you can accept money for free, but I think it can only be a cash transfer, you can't accept credit card payments.

Unless you signed a form that says you would participate in a benefit program and allow the company to deduct money from your paycheck, the comapony is stealing from you. It is that simple. A company may not withold funds from you without your written authorization.\n\nSeek a lawyer immediately to help get your money back.\n\nGood luck!

Absolutely yes they can! They wont give you a Pass-Port if you owe child support or student loans that are delinquent, and you are an American citizen.... Just new laws this Bush administration has put in place behind our American backs..... You have to read the fine print with these jokers!

I would go to the bank and tell them that they are illegally giving out personal information and they need to fix it or you will seek a lawyer for their advice.Or maybe you should use another bank.

Yes, if there's an electronic trail of money being transferred to her own personal account. Go to Judge Brown!

Yes.  What you are inquiring about is called a "cash advance".  Most credit card companies will allow you to do this, but you must get a pin number from them first.  You would then treat it like an ATM card.  However they do not allow you to do this without a hefty penalty.  They charge way too much for this convenience, you end up having to pay back the money you took out, the fee that the bank charges and whatever fees the credit card tacks on...sweetheart so many places take credit cards now that getting a cash advance is just not worth it... unless you just HAVE to have cash....  I would think twice before you go there... Good Luck!

Unfortunately, no.  You can thank our government for this...that's part of the "Patriot Act".  You may want to ask your financial institution why they didn't ask when you opened your checking/savings account!

after spending some time on the border, i asked this same question to a INS agent, i was curious because I'm cheap and wanted to save money...apparently, you can be fined for trying to avoid paying the toll...sort of like tax evasion or something stupid...they won't deport you though, you are a citizen....

I understand where you are coming from with this. My husband is Canadian and the Immigration Department keeps him jumping through hoops.\n\nEver since 911, the regulations have tightened up but the keeping of his money has been a common practice for a very long time. Supporting the immigration process is a huge drain on the reserve so they have a policy of keeping money sent to them. I don't agree with it but there is nothing that can be done.\n\nThat is, nothing can be done unless you fight for it. Contact your local immigration office and file a complaint if you really want the money back. I caution you though, just like all human enterprises, even the immigration office isn't above human emotions. Anger someone and he might be put on the next plane out of here. Immigration has as much power, if not more, than the FBI. A single immigration officer has the power to make or break your case.\n\nGo through the hoops exactly as they require. EXACTLY. Do not deviate, ever. It sounds like he should have applied for citizenship, or perhaps he missed something along the way, an appointment, a letter of comformation, anything. They only need one person to say no. Your family memeber will need many people to say yes.\n\nI suggest a letter from each of the following; his employer, landlord, attny, 3 business owners, friends and family. Make copies of these letters, send them with the appeal (see website below for address), send to local mayor, Govenor, Senator and State Rep(s).\n\nMake sure he doesn't work while in denied status. You can do fund raisers through your churches or schools to help support them until this is figured out. The United Way, on the first two days of each month has money for rent/mortgages. Be first in line for them for only up to 2 times a year. \n\nI wish your family luck. Goddess Bless.

If you don't declare the money, you will get caught and get charged with a serious crime when you cross the border.  The best way to handle this is to call a bank in New York from mexico and open an account.  You do not have to be a citizen.  However, banks in the US are strictly controlled by the government and your info WILL be reported to our IRS.  You may have to pay taxes of some sort (although I can't imagine what on).  It is simple to hire someone to do your taxes here.  And you will have to file taxes and pay whatever the law says you must every year.  This is also very strict here.  Not doing so, will get you in trouble with the law.  It's easies just to hire someone to do this for you and doesn't cost much.\n\nAnyway.  Go to your bank in mexico and send your money to your bank in the US using a wire transfer.

No, don't do this.  This is fraud.  Your card would likely be cancelled, your access to deposited funds would likely be reduced to zero so that you couldn't do that again and your account may be closed.

Some US banks have international departments that will do it for you. The easiest way is to stop at a Bureau de Change in the Barcelona airport. You give them American dollars, they give you Euros or whatever currency you want.

Seek legal advice - you could take a few dollars off them

If the amount is over $10000 the bank is required to file a currency transaction report which essentially starts a paper trail for the money. The bank can additionally file a suspicious activity report on any cash deposit that it deems to be suspicious.  For instance if you come in every day and deposit 9000 dollars, they are going to get suspicious.  The government won't ask you questions but you are required to disclose all income to the IRS, and if they do audit you and find through CTRs and SARs cash deposits you could be in trouble. \n\nHowever if this is an irregular deposit then it is not too much to be concerned about.  There are sections in the USA Patriot Act that detail the current guidelines on the filing of these forms.
