Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas
Am I required to file taxes for my spouse's green card?
Hello,
I'm an United States citizen and my wife's from Korea (not a US citizen). We got married in Texas for about a year. Am I required to file income tax every year in order for my wife to get her green card? Or can I just prove my employment with my w-2 earnings summary if need be?

If you are working in the US, you have to pay taxes to the IRS. That isn't necessarily linked to your wife's green card, but it does make a record in case someone wanted to check.

As a sponsor of a foreign national you will be required to file an affidavit of support. The affidavit of support requires the tax return only for the most recent tax year.
