Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

If you don't file joint tax returns it may raise a red flag on you I-751 petition. Try to gather as many documents showing the bona fides of the marriage (always include lots of photos)

Hi,

A joint tax return is not required to file the petition to remove the conditions on residence, as long as you are otherwise in a bona fide marriage. If your wife does not co-sign the I-751, the case becomes more complex.

A joint tax return is not required, however it would help. You can show other documentation such as a mortgage, lease or joint bank accounts. You should consult with an immigration attorney in your area.
