Hey Guys,

Need your advice and experience. Is it OK to put unauthorized employment during F1 around 4 years ago in G-325A (employment history) for I485 AOS. or will be the problem if its not mentioned. If you could share your experience would be great. I heard its big big issue of unauthorized employment during Green card but not a sigle guys I found not following this.. and its not possible without working to study in this country.

peace

look like this one is difficult. Can you please share you experience. Its good for future students or anyone on same boat. "Never work illegal" or you will be postiong similar thread in future...anyway advice please!

it depends in which basis you are filing your gc. if you are married to an us citizen and filing for gc you may want to include them. because immigration will list you as illegally staying/status pending category till you get your green card. if you are filing as skilled worker i would rather not mention previous employments just because it requires you to be here legally and must have maintained your status throughout your stay in the US.
Hey please dont quote on me though. Good to have a lawyer in this matter.
Good luck!

Well i have heard that there will be some kind of problem but not very sure.
I am still in my F1 status and i work using my SS, have to do it.
i am really interested to hear comments on peace 777 question, it will be useful to know that.

NO IT IS NO OK TO PUT UNAUTHORISED EMPLOYMENT IN ANY INS FORM. THINK MAN THEY WILL NEVER TRACK YOUR EMPLOYMENT RECORD, YOU ARE NO THE ONLY ONE WHO IS WORKING UNAUTHORISED. LOTS OD MYFRIENDS WORK UNAUTHORISED AND YRS STILL GOT THEIR GC ALL IT MATTER S IS TAXES PAY THE DAM TAX IN TIME . THAT'S ALL IT MATTERS. I KNOW IT IS LYING BUT, IF YOU BECOME TOO HONEST INS WILL DENY YOUR REQUEST. HONESTY IS A GOOD THING, BUT IF YOU BECOME TOO HONEST YOU WILL END UP HOMELESS. HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT " DO NOT ASK DO NOT TELL" POLICY THIS FALLS UNDER THAT CATOGERY.THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU PUT UNAUTHORISED EMPLOYMENT IN ANY INS FORM. BASICALLY YOU ARE TELLING THEM YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO DO TO YOU. DO YOU THINK THEY WILL JUST LET IT GO.YOU ARE BASICALLY SETTING UP A DEATH TRAP FOR YOURSELF. COMMONN THINK MAN.THANKS.

SORRY FOR THE SPELLING MISTAKES.

Yea, it's not good to put in G325A. you have to submit a copy of all W-2 for last 3 years

Thanks Guys. Ok, if I dont put it on Biographic info that asked for all the past works and as saan_dai suggested to submit copy of W-2 and I am sure all tax records (and USCIS might ask that for sure) , wont they find that our the employers that is not listed on biographic info is listed on W-2 or excess income in tax form and will ask for explanaition for lying... man its a mess.

On G325-A list only your last 3 yrs work as you have to submit W-2 for last 3 years. Don't put other work that are not listed on last 3 yrs W-2. BTW Pace 777 are you filing GC through your employer or, family based??

Thanks saan_dai. Its through employer. The problem, I did few months on last 2004 as well. Now is there a way around for that one?

also, I heard they issue RFE to submit all W2 and tax filing from the day I came to US. Is that true?

180+ days of u-n-a-u-t-h-o-r-i-z-e-d work SINCE YOUR LAST LAWFUL ENTRY in US makes you i-n-e-l-i-g-i-b-l-e- to file for G-C through employment based (F1 to H1 to GC) - if you re-enter US you reset your 180 days clock.

180 days clock rule applies to employment based GC applicants - asylee or married to US citizen candidates are EXEMPT from this.

a away around is to get h-1 S-T-A-M-P and re-enter US ... i've not DONE that either.

Anyone in same situation?

do they go back all the way to F1 n OPT n H1 history r do thay only checccccck H1 period
