Filed for AOS - Just realised tax return mistake!

[Alex13 5]

Hi guys.

My USC wife and I filed for my AOS (I-485 concurrently with I-130) and all the other supporting forms and documents last week.

I received an email yesterday giving me my receipt number, etc.

Here's my problem - today we noticed that her tax return was filed as 'SINGLE' as opposed to 'MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY' (due to me not having SSN etc) - this was an honest oversight on our part. Tomorrow we're going to the IRS to amend the tax return. However, USCIS now has the duff 'Single' one.

Is there any way I can mail notification of the amended return to USCIS, citing my case number?

Will I get an RFE and if so shall I wait till then?

Or, and most scarily, will they deny me because of this?

Thanks for all your help in advance!

No :-)

PHEW! Gahh. I spent so much time carefully preening and perfecting the AOS, I felt sick thinking that small little thing could mess it up.

Will they probably want the amendment in an RFE?

Thanks for making my blood pressure settle. :-)

Unfortunately I can't help you much beyond that. I honestly don't know if they will send you an RFE or not. But go ahead and amend the return. Probably best not to send them anything unless they request it. When were you married? Seeing as how they only need the tax return to 1) prove she filed taxes and 2) prove her income, they may not actually examine it further, I don't really know. But if they do request it (which won't be for a couple of months I wouldn't think) and you have it all ready to send off, then you really won't be delayed much at all.
