Ekhm... So you entered with a tourist visa with an intention of not leaving anymore, started abusing this visa right away by working, and now you're waiting for a green card?

Good luck.

My post was informative. Thank you though for your concern, and to the above gal, please save your judgement. You have no idea what I have been through and why I did what I did.

so whats the question. mr rursh, i think u should allow people to be honest with u. this is exactly what the reaction of the uscis would be. it better to be prepared than to be ignorant. best of luck bro. cases like this needs the attention of an EXPERIENCED lawyer

As I'm sure you already know, OP, you don't need a lawyer, you seem to have everything well under control, unless you left something really major out (murder conviction, claim to be a USC). I think you probably meant to post this in the AOS from other (including tourist) visa case status section. Or rather, that's maybe where Penguin should have moved it! Good luck on your journey!
