Just wondering if anyone knows what are the U.S. tax liabilities for my wife who is
in the AOS phase of immigration.... She works for a foreign government agency as a
contractor and we're trying to determine which taxes she'll be responsible for when
we file next year. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this type of
situation? We haven't found any useful info in the web so far and would like to
understand the situation better.

Thanks in advance, Jeff

Firstly if you file jointly she is treated just as you are and is taxed on her
worldwide income; even if you file separately, she would probably be treated as a
resident for tax purposes anyway, If you are in the US for more than 183 days in the
year you are treated as a resident most of the time.
