RE: interview

please I will be grateful to receive informed opinion on my question. I did my wedding in December last year precisely December 22nd, 2017 and my pd date is 12th January , 2018. Currently, I have been scheduled for interview on the 24th of April, 2018 (Baltimore) when I filed it was my wife Tax returns & W-2S for 2016-2014 we used. Recently when she filed her tax returns for 2017 , she did not include me citing the fact that it will be a loss to her, bearing in mind that we started living together in December, 2017. Will the non-inclusion of my name in the tax returns have any adverse effect on the interview.I have sufficient evidence to show cohabitation....... kindly advice and offer constructive opinions. Thank you.

Um according to the IRS website, for someone to be on the tax returns in the same house household, they would have to have been living together throughout that tax year(2017). How did she file without u? Married Separately?

we started living together in December of 2017. We are together. thank you for the info. However, correct me if I am wrong. the fact we we only started living together as husband and wife in December of 2017 puts us in good standing with the law?

I'm not sure. Did she file as "married separately" or "single". If she filed as "single" it's against the law and can be penalized if immigration raises the issue with IRS. The fact that u guys just started living together at the end of the tax year is uncertain. I would have personally sought advice from one of those tax help offices or IRS customer care before filing 2017. I honestly can't say if she committed an offence or if it will have any negative impact on your interview.

Anyone got some news? Nothing new on my end.

Update

No. I went on my appointment date.

My 485 case number started giving me " User-Defined Error " message since 4/10/2018 on uscis.gov website, myaccount website works fine . I called USCIS last week and they scheduled a callback in 3-5 days. No reply. Called again today and scheduled a call back from system in about 5 hours.

IS that error message when people get scheduled for an interview?

I wish..
I have the same error since 03/29..
I didn't call them and I found that many cases its just a system glitch

Edit:
I just called and the lady said that I have to call back on Thursdays or Fridays to speak to the technical employees.

I just got a call back from New York number and he said its just a technical glitch, and my case is not being scheduled for an interview at this time. Oh well! how exciting.....NOT!
