Help! Condition of status removal (do we need employment evidence) ?

[Chalupa718 0]

Hi all,

I haven't posted here in more than 2 yrs, sorry if I have posted in wrong forum. I just had a general question about removing the condition status. My husband came here Dec 2009' with the CR-1 visa so it'll be almost 2 yrs now, we are getting ready to prepare all the evidence and documents to send in. Now, here's the thing, we are both working, but he is currently working off the books and getting personal checks (getting screwed big time from his cheap employer) but anyways, he has asked them to be put on payroll. So I was wondering if this would be a problem, and do we have to send in our taxes?? Last year was the hardest since we were both unemployed :-(

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

If you post this question to "Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion" you will get a lot more response. That is official forum for any question regarding removing condition of your conditional green card.

To answer your question, I dont think not being on payroll would be any problem as long as you provide enough evidence that justify your marriage and living together. Some of the things you can provide with I-751 are tax returns, joint bank account, utility bill, photo's, and many other things.

Hope this answer your question.

Moving to ROC forum. Yes, you do need to send taxes and your husband better get on the books employment as IRS doesn't look favorably on tax evasion. May also be problematic for naturalization.

Is there a reason you keep opening the same topic again?

I'll have mods merge it with the other one: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/320854-help-condition-of-status-removal-do-we-need-employment-evidence/page__p__4797111#entry4797111

Working off the books is classified as tax evasion which not only is a felony but one that can have dire consequences for an immigrant in particular. According to VJ guidelines, members are not really allowed to answer such a question if it would imply illegal activity, which is exactly what this is. This might explain why you don't get many responses. Even if he works under the table, he can declare this as 1099 income which is what I would suggest for him to do. It has the added advantage of getting SS payments checked off, of which he needs 40 quarters, which would be 10 years anyway.
