My wife a US Citizen filing I-130, I-485 for her Mother.... her mother has been in the US since 1998 overstayed, she has I-94 B2 visa ....only 13 years overstayed ...has never worked was just a housewife...

Do you think asking now for the I-765 employment permission could be a negative? She really doesnt have too.. she would like to... but if it further comlicates things? ... I dont know it may be easier to get it all at the same time? from what ive read everyone seems to file them at same time.... but i havent read any overstayed 13 year ones....

Thank You

Why did she illegally overstay the time granted to her by the visa...?

Filing the I-765, even when not needed, is a no-brainer, standard procedure, just because it's free and you never know. It has absolutely no impact on the AOS process at all. Not in the slightest.

However, had you mom worked without authorization, it would not been made an issue of, on the same token as the overstay is not a deal breaker per se. What would be important though is that she discloses having worked as not doing so would be misrepresentation which carries a lifetime bar from the US.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
