In most cases, you would get larger tax return by filing jointly. However, there are situations where filing separately may be better. It's more of a question for a CPA.

In my case, filing jointly will make my refund $3,000 less but separately was higher but since he is still conditional resident, have no choice than to file jointly

Filing jointly is not a requirement for I-751. If you have other good evidence, it may be OK to file MFS.

Really? I thought both of you not filing jointly especially for the first year of being married is something Immigration officers frown upon 🤔

What other good evidences do they accept? We have couple of vehicles with both names. 

We don't have mortgage yet but we have our joint apartment lease. we are starting a business together this year within the next couple of months.
