I-751 Question on ''Evidence of Residence''

I am a US Citizen and petitioned my wife for legal residence status almost 2 years ago. She mentioned to me we were in a 90-day zone of filing an I-751 to remove ''conditions of residence'' on her legal status. On the section stating ''Evidence of Relationship'', provision #2 states we show financial records showing joint assets, savings, checking, taxes, bills, etc.

We are 2 years behind in filing our taxes, and my wife is adamant we need to file in order to file these papers. We did file in 2005 jointly, but she says it's not enough.

Our tax returns are very complex, with income in 3 states, and an IRS submission of close to 70 pages of documentation. That, and my accountant charges an arm, and sometimes even a leg.

Is my wife right? I have plenty of other evidence that we are in a real marriage, including the birth of our son last year.

I need an answer on who is right here, some insight from an immigration attorney.

Re: I-751 Question on ''Evidence of Residence''

The plenty of other evidence(presumably relevant to your marital status) which you claim to have should be quite sufficient for purposes of filing the I-751.
