Is it for immigrant visa? If it's less than 6 months of illegal work, should be forgiven.

if they kept your passport you should be hopefully fine!

@adam smith just consuls demeanor was not good towards my working while on student visa

@Ali J They might not like if you worked illegally, but legally they have to approve if you are admissible.

@Charlie SC fingers crossed, lets see

i have a business now grossing almost 5 million till now, they have no question regarding my business and how much I am contributing to the economy. just my illegall work they were interested in. thats bothering me @Charlie SC

@Ali J I understand that they might get into trouble if they approve someone who isn't admissible. If your violation is less than 6 months, be easy. Provide all evidence that shows that's the case and you should be good.

how they know you worked illegally????

@EB1 Aspirant yes

why do you start that in you I485 ?

@EB1 Aspirant my lawyer was adamant on mentioning that illegal work saying they will find out anyway. but now I am regretting.

its not denied yet but my feeling is not positive

@Ali J take it easy man, Sometimes lawyers want to be more perfect than the Inmigration Department. U’re gonna be good

@Ali J I know it's not easy to here but you did the right thing. from you maintain your status you should be ok. you violated you status but most importantly you maintained your status and you didn't lied.

@EB1 Aspirant i had to come back to my home country with a family emergency. I transferred my case from AOS to consular processing

@Ali J please could you mention the type of work you did which was tagged illegal? does this work involve you giving the social security to the employer?

can you provide more details about your priority date? how long it took after you became current to get the scheduled interview? I’m in the same situation and want to know what is my approximate timeline
