Filling tax jointly or separate but married?

[lkt80]

Hello! I'm a permanent resident from Oct this year. My wife is US citizen anf she has student loan monthly payment for that. If we fill taxes jointly than our income will count like one and her monthly payment will go up becouse it depends of income.
So my question is if we fill tax returns separately but married can that affect on my immigration status? Can thay affect on my application for removing conditions from my permanent residence card?
Thank you

It should be okay as long as you have a financial reason for why filing separately is better in your case, and it sounds like you do.

Filing jointly or separately

There should be no effect on your immigration status of on changing your status whether you file separately or jointly. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allow you to choose any method to your advantage. If you file jointly, that give a strong impression that you are married (and that is the reason for a joint return filing). However, if you can explain clearly why you each filed separately and the advantage for filing separately, then there should be no problem.
