Re: taxes and green card

This question was recently asked a few times and the answer is really simple. If you did not legally have to file tax returns (for example, because your income in every one of these ten years was below the minimum for which you have to file and pay taxes), you should be alright. If this is not the case, you may need to speak to an immigration attorney (as well as a tax accountant and tax attorney).

The above reply is in the nature of general information, is not legal advice, and should not be relied on as such.
