Hi everyone,

I am waiting to have a interview for my 10 yrs GC and I'm also debating if I wanted to apply for us citizenship. So anyway, my question is , if I file married but separate, is it goin to affect my status as a GC HOLDER and if I apply for US Citizen is it going to put it in risk? I wanted to make sure I am doing the right thing.

Take note: I'm still married and inlove with my husband :)

Thank you

No it won't affect anything. Lots of people are married and file separately. It's your decision, and is not suspicious in any way.

Hi thank you for respond. I received an RFE And now I'm waiting for them to give me an interview date. I am worried if I filed married but separate they will question me about that.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Question what? Why they filed separately? Many people file separately. My wife and I filed married separately because she is still dependent under her mothers insurance and taxes and she is under 26. Therefore, it is logical to file separately. There are many reasons why people file separately.

there are many reasons, you are correct. but they could ask to know the reason. Most likely you will get more refund if you are filing jointly. and most of the people who go through divorce they file separately , so for uscis they could look into anything just to question it. I am not saying you would have a problem if you file separately however it might make them question that. This is my opinion

Ah I see where you're coming from. I'm sure adding an affidavit of reason might not hurt as well.

Absolutely !

and the member who asked the question didn't mention what kind of RFE she got, is it request for more proof or they asked about the tax return and that's why she is concerned. I hope she provides more information.

You can file married separate, but maybe some advice from your tax professional would help and you might save some money. As far a joint accounts, how about AAA, Costco, Sam's Club, Insurance auto, life and home, joint club membership's, Medical showing joint, 401k beneficiary etc., I hope that helps.

Me and hubby filed our income tax as joint since we got married in 2007. the last 2 years we filed married but separate income tax I am now a citizen and i had no problem at all. they asked me why and i gave them the truth the real reason why.
