lots of affidavits from credible 3rd parties as to the validity of your marriage. credible parties do not include family members. try your clergymen, neighbors, landlord, banker, etc.

if your husband never claimed you on taxes he was an idiot, or knew you would use a joint tax filing for validation of your marriage, and chose not to. speak to your local IRS office. he may have filed with you as a dependent for 2008 and simply not told you so. in that case, you could get a copy of the tax record from your local IRS office. all you need to know to find out is his name and SS#, and your name and SS#.

Did you file tax returns???? If yes, then you can include them to show that you filed as a married filing separately. It is still acceptable. All the evidence you mentioned is good and will help - so include as much as you can. Also, you can include a cover letter explaining that while married, you (and your husband) did not own a car, house, etc.. like you mentioned in this post.

She said the husband never claimed her on his taxes so he may have filed as single. That will be a no-no with uscis. The least worry would have been if he chose married filing separate. If he flat out ommitted her entirely, then that puts her in a bind when it comes to taxes. Maybe OP can share a bit of light on the reason for divorce. That way people who have been down that road can tell her they got out of that jam. Demestic abuse (unfortunately) can help out if that was the case.

Here is OP's other post befor this one. removal of condition..

Looks like no domestic abuse...

Well - in my opinion, if the husband filed as single, then he can be accused of fraud and it is a serious problem. Unfortunately, that will not help the OP but the husband is also irresponsible for performing such actions.

This may actually help the OP in her case for filing divorce. She claims that he doesn't treat her as a wife and IRS documents can prove that he never thought of her that way... now there are two faces to the coin and she needs to show the "shiny" side to USCIS. I am not suggesting she lies or misleads them, but she needs to show the IO that her divorce claim is due to facts (such and such) and the evidence she is providing supports her claim.

Just like a person claiming that that USC spouse abused them is not enough - they need to show police reports and or other documents to support the claim.

Nevertheless, regardless of what the husband did, she was supposed to file her own taxes knowing that her husband didn't include her...
