Hello, and thanks so much to all who have posted, I'm still busy reading the old posts and catching up w/CDJ, but I have something that is bugging me about our case, and I thought I would query y'all for some help.

My fiance and I are getting ready to send in our I-129F K1, but she has an old illegal entry in her past, basically from like 10/89 to 3/91, after which she went back on her own. She was never detained or deported, but I still fear that this may throw a kink in things.

On the I-129F where they asked if applicant has ever been in the US, I put YES, but I did not elaborate. Should I? I know that illegal entrys that last over one year are subject to a 10 year ban, and I dont' think I could handle that. Are we going to have to apply for a wavier on this, or do you think that they will let it slide since it has been so long? Thanks in advance.

If she left in 1991 she is already "clear" from the 10 year ban. Just do not lie to the consul if this subject ever come up at the interview. You guys should be fine.

I have heard that there is often a problem w/someone that has worked while here illegally. I do not know why this would be so unusual for everyone that comes here from Mexico illegally is coming to work. Never the less, I have heard that adjustment of status is more difficult if there is a work history on the part of the illegal. Anyone have any experience w/this? Maybe I'm freaking out over nothing, and I sure hope I am! Thanks
