Tax Filing as "Married Filing Separately' and applying for N400 on 3 years rule

[mymercy 85]

Is there anyone here who has idea if filing taxes status as 'Married Filing Separately' would affect the approval of N400 filed based on marriage 3-years rule?

 

Out of the 3 years, 1 was filed jointly but others as head of household but adjusted to married filing separately. We have other evidences submitted such as children birth certificates born into the marriage and other relevant evidences.

 

Anyone once in this same shoes or with idea?

From my personal experience I think you should just bring as many documents as possible that prove that your marriage is bona fide. Tax Returns may be just one of them, but it is not exclusive  - there may be so many others, just bring as many of those as possible (the IO may even never ask but better be over prepared than underprepared) . In my opinion tax returns are more important in identifying you as a person of good moral character and in case you and your husband don't have anything else in common (like kids, mortgage, loans, etc). and good luck!

 

also be prepared to answer why you filed only once together, and 2 times separately - this may come up.

It's not really an issue, you filed as married.
