If I file the 1040 resident income tax return and my spouse files the 1040NR nonresident alien income tax return after we have received our conditional green cards, would the 1040NR affect our permanent green cards in any way?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyIf your spouse is a U.S. lawful permanent resident, then she should not be filing as a non-resident unless there is a tax treaty or other legal advice to the contrary. If she spends time out of the U.S., the tax return is commonly requested to see if she has issues of green card abandonment.
