Q: Can I file taxes “married filing separately”? my wife has no income and there for she will not be filing taxes but we..
we are planning on filing a petition for her legal status through our marriage will that affect us in any way?
A:
This makes little sense. I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney to discuss the concern.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
A: The proper and correct manner of filing your federal tax return can be determined by your CPA /accountant and your immigration attorney. The federal tax return will come into play when you file the FORM I-864 with USCIS or with the NVC and can definitely impact the process.
A:
In my Experience, Joint tax returns are a strong supporting documents for marriage based green cards. I will be happy to have a consultation with you regarding the process to avoid mistakes that could lead to denial.
