american citizen claim

I've been working without authorization claiming to be a citizen on the I-9. I'm married to USC and will file for AOS and EAD soon.
Anyone with case similar to mine who passed the interview successfully?
What to answer if they outright asked if I claimed to USC?
What are the chances that they do not ask?

If you are married to a USC, they might forgive you working, but I think falsely claiming to be a USC is a BIG no no!

I will try to find another thread on this subject and post the link for you.

Thank you for your response Josephine. I realize that there is a 10 year bar for faulsy claiming to be a citizen. And the only chance I have is that they do not ask about it. Any comments anyone?

hi I have same problem with you false claim 212(a)(6)(C)(ii) and my wife american we live in my country and how come I get waiver do you know?

Unfortunately Matt29 my lawyer told me there was no waiver. Once you live the country you have to wait 10 years before you can try to come back.
Can you tell me a little bit more about how the INS found out you made a false claim? did you say so at the interview? I hoping that they won't ask. It's my only way to get out of this mess. Thank you for responding. Anything you can tell me will help me.

what about I-9 and using old permission to work/or number from old overstayed visa (which is not permission to work) on form I-9.. is that still so hard crime like claim to be US citizen ?

thx

When we petitioned for my husband there was a box on one of the forms asking if you have ever claimed to be a USC. Our lawyer told him absolutely do not lie about it - fortunately he had never claimed to be one; I guess it is one of the unforgiveable sins. But I don't think it's just a question of will they ask verbally; I'm pretty sure you have to check yes or no to that question in writing.

wow, josephine, you are truly attentive and discriminative!

To Quest,

It seems that everything else is forgiveable, as long as you do not say or write that you are USC. And as long as you are petitioned by a USC spouse.

To Lurker,

On the form i'm filing I-485 there is no question about claiming to be USC.
