Hello!
Naku andami naman ng requirements pala. Necessary ba ang joint filing ng tax kasi separate ang filing namin ni mister, eh. I still have one year to go pero just wanted to make sure.
Hi Shey, I only had a lot of requirements because of the fact that my eligibility was based on my marriage to a US citizen and came here as a non-immigrant. But for applicants for other categories I think the requirements are not a lot.
As for the tax return, I think it doesn’t matter whether you filed as separate or joint. Plus you can also show other papers where both you and your spouse names are on them like lease agreements, bank account informations, etc.
Good luck on your filing.
