I'm looking for helping with filing taxes while awaiting AoS.

My husband and I were married Feb 28 (in the US), and are still waiting for my Green Card to be approved. I believe I am a resident alien for tax purposes (based on substantial presence, I know I'm not a lawful resident). Therefore, I am filing married/joint. Our W-2's are ok, as are his dividends and interest.

Since I am still waiting for my GC, wanted to check if anyone knows if I should:

- report interest earned on 'foreign' bank accounts (I know they are foreign to the US, but I too am a foreigner (atm) so do they actually come under US tax laws?). I'm assuming this one is yes.

- need to file an FBAR, as one of my accounts topped $10,000 in 2014? Again, I don't have anything against filing, it's just that since I'm not a lawful resident, do I NEED to report this?

Once I get my GC I'm certain I'll have to report everything, for for now, I'm not sure.

Thanks,

I don't think the Green Card comes into play, if you file as a resident alien you need to report everything a resident alien would have to report. This is my understanding.
