  • Worked without authorization/ adjusting status

    Hello ILW members.
    I have immigration questions and i hope someone will be able to help me.
    I came in to the U.S in 2003 as an F1 student. I faced hard economic time and requested my college for Financial help but unfortunately they had none for international students, but they help me get a Social security # so that i can work the the college for 20 hrs. The money i got was not enough to meet my living cost and therefore by December of 2003 and went to look for a job out side the college which is not allowed for F1.

    I have been working ever-since then as a Technician but my employer had no idea that I'm working illegally or am not a citizen.

    Last year July i married a U.S citizen.

    We are scared of adjusting my status because we understand that Working without authorization is illegal, and that can result to INS deporting me and we will never be able to see each-other again.

    Please Help.

      Consult an attorney if you have serious doubts, but as a general rule, working without authorization is not a ban to AOS of immediate relatives. This question has been answered time and time again...
      -THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE-
