I'm applying to remove the conditions from my green card. I've provided USCIS with ample evidence that I'm still married and living with my spouse, but now we've been called for interview.

Does this mean they have their doubts about whether the marriage is genuine, or is it just standard procedure?

Also, they've asked me to bring loads of documents with me, most of which they already have. One of these is my tax returns for the last two years. The last return I have is for 2008, basically because I'm a very bad procrastinator. Is this likely to be a problem?

Thanks for your help.

They may have doubts.

Or you may be one of the few who are interviewed as standard procedure.

Although USCIS is not an enforcer for the IRS, if you should have filed tax returns and have not you may find yourself in trouble of one kind or another.

If you have proof that you were not required to file a return for the past two years, you'll probably be fine. If you were required to file a return but didn't... you'll find out in short order that dealing with the the IRS will make dealing with USCIS seems like a pleasant vacation in the tropics!

You could end up in prison for not filing a tax return if you were otherwise required to do so.

The fact that you have been asked to produce tax returns from the past two years and you do not have them because you have not filed tax returns is not likely to help your case is it?

Bring proof that you filed for an extension each year, and that you continued to file for extensions as necessary. Not sure how long you can extend, but whatever proof you have that you did what was required from IRS, bring it.

Quite possibly, yes ...

Your Responsibilities as a Permanent Resident

Why didn't your spouse (the USC) file? She must have been filing before your marriage?

Remember if you own the feds or the state money for your unfiled taxes you will owe a penalty and interest until it is paid in full. And if you are due a refund, you not only have missed getting your check but you won't get it with interest.

If it's just because you're a very bad procrastinator, then hop to it and file 2009, 2010, and 2011 tax returns NOW, and bring proof of such to the interview!
