Doing AOS without EAD and Working as Babysitter

[Phayamoa 0]

Is it appropriate for my spouse to work as a babysitter without an employment authorization document and receive money on the side?

(EAD is so expensive! )

I have read one VJ post about someone using a social security number other than their own. Definitely a no no and I am aware of the consequences. But babysitting just seems so innocent, and you don't get taxed for it.

Thanks

All income is "supposed" to be reported and taxed, and yes babysitting is considered a job! So to answer your question no.

The EAD is "free" if filed in conjunction with the AOS. If you haven't filed for it, you will need a copy of your NOA when you send in the EAD application.

As stated in the above post, work is work, income is income, regardless of it's source, all income is to be reported to the IRS (this is where they take the tax from it), even it's illegally gained.

I wouldn't start your journey here working on the "side" imo.
