In terms of websites that have announcement for the followers of Sayyid Sistani in US (and Sayyid al-Khoei on the first link, at least. the criteria of the two Sayyids differ however)

Eid could be on tuesday for those that started the month of Ramadhan on Sept 1st. but i'm not sure if it can be for those that started on the 2nd of sept, because then those people would only have 28 fasts, instead of 29/30.

If you live in America, Eid is on Tuesday. Just look outside and view the new moon in all it's splendor.

^ Bro/Sis, please refrain from such replies. They only add confusion, kindly source your information.

We're waiting on final word, should know in an hour or so.

If you live in America, Eid is on Tuesday. Just look outside and view the full moon in all it's splendor.

You do know that if its a full moon you're seeing, theres something really messed up with the lunar cycle

When they say "new moon" in modern astronomy, they don't mean first crescent like we do. They mean the conjunction of the moon, at which time there is nothing of the moon to be seen:

New Moon - The Moon's unilluminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon is not visible (except during a solar eclipse).

That's correct.
