I met my wife here, and she became pregnant with our child.

She had overstayed her visa by approx. 150 days.

We had relationship problems.

She suddenly left to go back to her home country.

I was able, after much effort, to repair our relationship.

We married in her country.

We are filing for citizenship next week for my daughter in the embassy in her country.

I don't foresee any issues there. I was on the birth certificate from the beginning. My daughter was also now given my last name.

The questions I have concern my application for my wife.

She worked here for some time, even reaching a management position at a very well known company.

She doesn't think it wise to reveal that she worked here. Say, on her bio form. Or on interviews.

I don't even know all of the details, because she refuses to cooperate with me on this.

Perhaps she was using a faux ss #? I don't know.

I'm thinking we should be fully honest all the way.

There must be a million people working here illegally at any given second.

I really don't know.

She wants to omit some of this information.

I just want my wife and daughter here with me already.

Please help with some advice.

Some additional details...

She worked for this business for a few years, on and off.

She was here on a tourist visa, twice, i believe.

I believe she was here for a few years, left, and then returned again.

Definitely seek counsel from a good Immigration lawyer. The fact that she overstayed her visa for that long will be a big issue that you will have to fight. On top of that, she worked illegally since anyone on a tourist visa is not allowed to work in the US. So that's another issue that needs to be tackled.

One can guess, even you can guess.

But if you want to be able to be 'pro-active' with the petition that YOU might file for her -

she needs to reveal all to you.

If she hasn't done that yet, IMO - thats a huge problem. Sorry.

I'd start (if I was doing this) by submitting a written letter of 'employment verification' back to the company that she worked for.

If nothing comes back, or if they say they don't have records of her - then she was working 'off the books'.

Which might , repeat MIGHT, lean towards 'being in country illegally'.

Sorry.

I'd also inquire with CBP if she was 'marked' on exit , in their computer system, for the overstay.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
