Working without authorization (apply for AOS and then work without EAD)
Hi, I am curious if anyone has dealt with this or know someone else in this position. If you apply for an AOS and you have never worked without authorization, you do the application and answer no. A few months after you do work while waiting for your EAD and are never interviewed for the greencard so you do not have the opportunity to disclose it. Concerns: When applying to remove conditions/citizenship, the question is asked again if you have worked without authorization, the answer is then Yes. So my question 🙋♀️ is it an issue and can the person just explain what happened. Unuthorized work is forgiven for US spouses but the work was not disclosed as there was no opportunity to do so after applying. I am trying to help a person with limited access to legal representation and limited English. I did an AOS and I am just trying to help her out. She is worried about answering honestly and I said that it is worse to lie. Thank you 😊
