I don't know for certain, but that sounds made-up. You file based on your preference, whatever works best in your financial situation. The USCIS might ask you why you did it that way, but no way should you be denied because of that. Just my opinion, though.

We filed this year married seperate too only because it increased our refund. We filed for removal of conditions as well last month and so far we have not even received a NOA1. I don't see why it should matter as long as you are still married, living together and happy, but of course we're talking about USCIS so who knows....

Bailey, my BIL and SIL filed seperate, and they were approved, so I am thin king it's no big deal.

They won't deny because of filing separately. It's perfectly legal to file separately. In some cases, it will reduce the amount you pay. In most typical cases, it will increase the amount you pay, and it some cases, it may not matter.

If your tax situation is such that you ended up paying a lot MORE filing separately than you would have paid if you'd filed a joint return, they may wonder why you made that decision. Unfortunately, a common reason why couples file separately is because they're about to divorce, and they won't speak to each other enough to get together and sign each other's joint return. You'll want to make sure they don't incorrectly assume your separate filing was because your marriage isn't good.

They might ask you why you filed separately. If you've got a good reason for filing separately, you might choose to explain it in a note you include in the I-751 package, instead of waiting for them to ask you about it. But then again, they might never ask, even if you don't offer an explanation.

In the end, what matters is the overall big picture.
