Working OFF THE BOOKS.

[Vi Mazzella 4]

I have a really good job right now but I got offered another job off the books, I'm pretty excited about that but my husband thinks that that could affect the process that we will start next year (Rem. Cond), you think something could happen???????????????????????

I hope you get caught, get fined, thrown in jail for some period of time, and then deported with a permanent ban on re-entry.

Good luck!

just to put a spin on it, lets say you had a work permit and worked for someone, then your work permit expired and you decided you didnt want to renew it because you were buzy with school, nor did you want to work while you are in school.

Instead your xemployer loans you hmm 50k, which you must pay back after you graduate... like a lot of top law firms and big companies do,, pay for someones expences and then you work for them for a number of years.

you are not employed, nor are you working for the xemployer, however you do have a loan which you must payback. the employer doesnt write it off as "paid to contractor" meaning he pays tax on that amount since technically he hasnt hired someone nor spent it on a "product" or taxable good. nor has he/she 1099'ed you

you dont pay taxes on it because (a) you are not employed, (B) its a loan you must pay back, (no interesr) ©, you cant claim it as employement income because you didnt renew your work permit.... would that be more line incriminating yourself?

yea so thats a boat that im in.... fun...

1: Start your own thread (it's not related to this topic, really)

2: Restate your story more clearly.. I can not tell exactly what you did, and what the employer did.

3: include your status in the US and how you got it (are you a marriage based case?)

Don't do it. Don't do anything that could jeopardize the process.

As others have said.

The very fact that the offer is "off the books" should raise a red-flag--it looks like the employer has something to hide there.
