Even though Puerto Rico is technically part of the United States, and even though law firms will not specifically say no to this, it is much easier to go to graduate school for things like law or medicine in the 50 states if you're going to work in them than in the territories or in other countries
2 :
You have to pass the bar exam in New York in order to practice in New York.
3 :
Sure. You can even work in New York if you aren't a lawyer.

Let's say I live in New Jersey and work in New York City. Is city tax deducted from my paycheck

Let's say I live in New Jersey and work in New York City. Is city tax deducted from my paycheck?
When I check out the paycheck calculator, I see that there's a section called "City tax". From that section, there's a pull down that gives the following options: "None", "New York City Resident", "Yonkers" and "Yonkers Non-Resident". If I work in NYC (Midtown Manhattan) and live in NJ, which one applies to me?

yep, both

I had one answerer e-mail me. He stated that he received 1100 less in refunds because NYC tax had to be paid. It is possible that NYC was not withheld from you during the year. Save all of your stubs if you not already. The pull down menu forgot that option. If you work in Manhattan, you are going to have to pay NYC tax. Best to you. www.naea.org

You would file a non-resident return for the state of New Your along with your federal return.
2 :
Some states have a reciprocol agreement where the state you work in holds out taxes for the state you live in. For example, I live in WV but work in OH. My employer holds out WV state tax and I only file in WV. You can go to the Connecticut and New York state tax web sites and find out how they do it.
3 :
Your employer should withhold New York State taxes. The general rule of thumb for withholding is where you work. When you file your tax return, you would file: A federal return (of course) A NY nonresident return (report only your earnings in NY). A CT resident return (report everything, including your earnings in NY, you would be able to take a resident tax credit for taxes paid to NY state on your CT return)
4 :
You will withhold taxes in New York, file as a nonresident, and file (and pay) taxes in Connecticut. Ask your payroll department for how much to withhold. I've linked below to a blog post that clears things up further.

If i took the nclex exam for California and then decided to work in New York?
can I apply for licensure by endorsement/reciprocity to New York while I am still in the Philippines? Or do I need to go to New York first before I can start New York endorsement process?

The NCLEX is the same exam no matter where you took it. You do need to contact the NY Board of Nursing so you can find out what steps you need to take since you are not in the US. You will have to apply for a license but you will not have to retake the NCLEX.
