Hello everyone! Myself & my wife (who is American) are about to submit our I-130 application. We've been married for almost 2 years now and when she filed for her taxes after our marriage she still put that she was "single" because her finical advisor advised her too as I don't live in the United States yet. After reviewing many forums online it states on some of them that it would look "suspicious" if we're married but she still filed her taxes as "single". We have spoke to the her financial advisor and they told us that it's possible for us to change it but we're not sure if that would look even more "suspicious" if we change the status right before submitting our I-130 application. Therefore, what would people advise to do? Would it be better to just leave how it is or should we change it and submit the application. Bearing in mind we're trying to get this application submitted before Trump goes into presidency as we've heard he's going to be changing the application process. For everyones reference below is what the finical advisor stated in the email when we asked about changing the status from "single" to "married". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "On the tax side, we can amend the return to show you as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or Married Filing Separately (MFS). You are allowed to MFJ with your non-resident spouse, but they will need an SSN or an ITIN. You can get an ITIN through the state of Colorado. If they don’t have an SSN or ITIN, we’ll have to file as MFS. This might affect your overall tax liability slightly, but at least you’ll be in the correct filing type. Let us know if you have any other questions."

Well thank you! I just want to make sure that everything is perfect before submitting it as I don't want any delays! Again, thank you for everyones help.

I've basically started using a new signature since my passport has been issued. I've attached a picture for everyones reference.

Hello everyone, Myself and my wife are in the process of filling out the I-130 form and gathering all of the evidence we required. We've noticed that when we got married back in 2023 my signature (the beneficiary) is not matching with my passport. We're not sure if this will cause a problem or if we should just leave it and hope that it won't cause any issues/delays with our application. We've been in contact with the marriage office where they issued the marriage certificate and they said that they would need to re-issue the certificate if I wish to change the signatures. But that could create another problem as they can't put the original date on the new certificate but the date that the new certificate is issued. Therefore, on paper it will show that we only just got married but in reality its been 1.5 years since our marriage. Does anyone have any advice or have encountered such a problem? Is it better to leave how the signatures are now or would it better to get a new marriage certificate with a new date? Thanks in advance!
