removal of conditions-i751 form

[mikesocal 1]

I am ready to send the I-751 form in with all the evidence I could gather. Mainly anything with both our names on bank statements etc. But, I am worried about sending our joint tax return with a below poverty amount for 2008. Does anyone know if they look at this carefully at this stage of the process? I have other evidence such as a lot of photos and affidavits from people, mutual vacations together credit card statements. I could send the taxes but crop off the dollar amounts........just a thought, Thanks

At this point in the process, you're proving that you have a legitimate marriage - one way to do that is by submitting copies of tax returns. So long as the alien has not become a public charge, there is no reason to worry about the amount shown on the tax return.

When removing conditions and later applying for USC they don't care how much you made. They just want to see you guys filed taxes and are still a "team".

Every stage of the immigration process has its pet peeves. At the AOS stage they want to see that the marriage is legit, and you have to meet the income requirements as they don't want the new immigrant to become a public liability.

At the ROC stage the income does not matter anymore. You send much less paperwork and they only want to see that the immigrant is still married to their spouse and that they live together, finances intermingled. The tax returns are important prove of that.

The final stage, naturalization, is the easiest one with the fewest paperwork.
