You can file tax returns electronically, that way you just affirm rather than sign.

Being separated for tax purposes has nothing to do with marital status. It is an option.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Well financial problems at home sound like something that can be worked out. It's not a dangerous situation you're returning to. It didn't say where you were from but if you have nothing here, that being a support network of people, a means of financial stability, the ability to provide a home for yourself maybe returning would be a better option...

Thank you everyone for such a nice support.Now the good news are-my in-laws family offered me to live temporarily until filing of I-751 at their cousins house located very nearby and even promised that they will definately help me and my address will be the same as now(in-laws house address)..it is just because they don't like to see us living like this..you get it.Now I have a question-I will now start working part-time with my study and I don't need to pay for housing stuff..please tell me is it possible like that?We will not separate onpaper...I will collect all the evidence that we had together and even will open joint bank account after getting job...But I don't have joint tax returns..is it big bad issue??any help from you would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance.

Parties that are separated, except those where separation automatically leads to divorce after some time, can file jointly to remove conditions. There's no prohibition against that, but the caveat is that successful petitioning would be predicated upon demonstrating the bonafide nature of the marriage. Joint tax returns? Even though you may not have worked while married and as such the marital income reported on a tax return may have included a "0" figure for you, didn't your spouse file the tax return as "married"?

Hi....thank you so much for your help.Now I got a question-If I will stick in their house(cuz right now they are not talking to me anymore at all and I am living in the same house with my wife but different rooms)....Is it good Idea to just stick out in their house?cuz divorce takes 1 year and now I don't have enough time to get decree....and most probably my wife is not gonna sign anything with me,I know its confusing that staying in their house but they won't support me filing I-751...I don't know what to do right now...I live in NC...any input from you would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so much in advance.

If you remain married to your wife, and residing in the marital home, USCIS will expect a jointly endorsed I-751 petition from you and your wife. If your wife doesn't sign it, then you are in the same place as you are right now. Does North Carolina require some sort of separate cohabitation requirement that it takes one year to finalise a divorce? If so, it sounds like this is why the family are pressing for you to take up residence elsewhere so that their daughter will be free to conduct her life as a single woman again as soon as possible.

Why be steadfast about staying in that home? Why not gather as much documentation as you can in the next couple of weeks, and move forward? Do you fear you will not have sufficient evidence to prove the marriage was bonafide?

In terms of evidence ~ get creative. Essentially, USCIS is looking to see that the parties lived together and commingled their social and financial lives, as much as is/was practical. So to demonstrate you lived together, anything that shows your residence is and ws the same as hers can work. Do you have a driver's license, were you authorised as a second operator on the vehicle policy? Did you receive mail directed to you at the same address that she had mail directed to her? etc.....

As far as commingling of social lives is concerned, invitations, letters and cards, photographs, or event ravel itineraries show you cavorted together, socialised together etc....

As far as commingling of financial lives goes, if whatever you had in the way of finances was shared, used to pay bills that each of you generated, used to pay for utilities or upkeep of the home you both lived in...these are all good evidences.

Try to see if there is a Catholic Human Charities in your area. They often provided pro bono assistance in immigration.
