My husband filed his taxes and labeled as "divorced" since technically he got divorced and we got married shortly after. Since I'm living in Canada while our CR-1 is being actively reviewed, there was no way he could add me since I don't have a SSN. So he filed as divorced. Is this going to cause issues during my interview or even during the next steps? I'm so nervous this is going to backfire, but he thinks it'll be fine. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. If it matters, we're 10 months into the wait, got married in April last year, filed in August.

"Divorced" is not a US tax filing status.  He probably filed as "single".  Many do that with no consequences.  However, he could have filed on paper instead of online, using the status "Married filing separately", so there.....WAS/IS.... a "way".  My opinion is don't worry about it.
