I just filed jointly with my legal husband but we are currently separated but not divorced. I feel bad about this having an impact on his legal status but I don't want to get myself in trouble either. What should I do? I have no plans on getting back together with him and I am even planning to go to the county office to apply for food stamps, medical, and cash aid/welfare on behalf of me and my daughter. Will this have any effect on his pending i751 application or could he still be approved if he gets lucky if his application ends up not requiring an interview? Please let me know. I have this feeling he is using me to get legal status I thought he loved me in the beginning but now things have changed after he received his residency. Please let me know should I withdraw my part on the joint application to avoid further problems or can I still go on with it and help him out? But remember I need to go to the county office to put myself as single with my daughter and I will be applying for aid because I NEED it to help pay my rent! Please let me know thanks.
