Hi again David,
I have since come across a couple of your other posts online re: the 3520 and 3520-A forms that sound just a little frightening to say the least.
In a nutshell, I have been in the US for the past 5 years, but was attending graduate school up until March 2002...therefore, unable to claim US residency while on a F1 student visa. Now that I am done and continue
to work in the US, I believe I can claim residency starting on Jan 1, 2003.
As I read it, this whole 3520 business applies to US citizens or residents only...not non-residents. If this is the case, then I won't have to complete anything extra until the 2003 tax year...at which time, I will need to fill out 3520-A to indicate what my RSP value is, and 3520 to
indicate my recent RSP contribution and transfer between my two RSP accounts.
Please tell me I'm correct:)
cheers
TXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I would likely have been filing you as a resident of the US (depending upon
how much you became a resident - even with a F1 visa) but as you describe
your situation I would agree with you.
I also would not do a 3520 or 3520A but would complete my reporting under
