Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

I owe money to the IRS and I intend on paying that off (itll take forever!). I want to run what my situation is in regards to this. I use a fake SSN and on my w2 it comes with that number. However, when filing my taxes I use an ITIN that was given to me by the IRS. I imagine that the IRS "transfers" over that information from the SSN to the ITIN. When USCIS does their background check will they see this? I heard that USCIS will forgive this kind of stuff when a petition was done by a spouse.

I'm not trying to get out paying taxes because quite frankly I'm sure the IRS will always track me down and I am wanting to do things in good faith. The problem that I think that may happen is that the IRS may not approve a payment plan with me because of my failure to pay on a previous payment plan and also they filed a lien on me for my back taxes. I have just mailed out my 2009 and 2010 taxes and will be sending the payment application soon.

Do you have a U.S. Citizen spouse filing for you to obtain a green card? You should make sure back taxes are taken care of when filing your petition. You will need to show USCIS that you at least have a payment plan in place with the IRS. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this matter further.
