Sorry about your husband's death.

I understand that you and your husband didn't file the tax returns with IRS for 2008? You filed the I-751 and received a RFE (request for evidence)? Have you filed taxes jointly for 2007, 2006? If yes, you can submit those tax returns and an affidavit explaining why taxes for 2008 were not filed.

If you or your husband worked or had some income in 2008, you must have filed taxes for 2008.

If you�d like to schedule a telephone legal consultation, please let me know, and I�d be glad to help: Attorney [@] law-visa-usa.com

Are you able to find out the accountant your husband used and request a copy ofthe filing from him? Alternatively, you should be able to contact the IRS to obtain a copy, but it could take some time. Otherwise you should be able to provide an affidavit expaining your husband's death and your inability to retrieve the 2008 taxes.
