AOS Denied due to unauthorized employment

[supercaleroman 0]

Doing some reading, I found some legal texts where it said that AOS will be denied for admitting to have worked without authorization.

Has anyone heard of any real cases where and AOS filed after marriage has been denied in those grounds?

I've been told on here and heard elsewhere that working without authorization, overstaying a visa and maybe a few other things are pretty much forgiven if you're married to a USC.

I hope this is the case anyway, as my husband did both (long story but in my heart I feel he did what was best for his family, etc).

It's usually forgiven if the applicant is married to a US citizen. Otherwise it is grounds for denial.

Why on earth would you admit to working without authorization?

I'm sure USCIS can tell if you've worked w/o authorization easily. Might as well disclose it upfront

[athena_ny 1]

Because they'll find out anyway? I know my husband paid taxes even though he was unauthorized to work, so it wouldn't be hard to figure out.

actually as I understand it, the IRS rarely ever *speaks to* USCIS. but i am not an expert.

well if they have a way of finding out I'd love to hear about it since my ex has been working under the table for years and the IRS can't do squat about it.

i guess that would be called an *audit* but really has nothing to do with this threaD.

My husband doesn't work under the table, he pays taxes. He's just not legally authorized to be employed. Anyway, that's not the point...either way, I'd rather tell them up front than have them find out (which in our case, it would become obvious) we lied and get denied for that.

Doodle,

Hope that your husband isn't caught or you will suffer while he's deported, this is, if he's not a citizen yet. GC doesn't deny the US govt from kicking you out of the country for certain crimes. Remember, only US citizen can get away with certain things, such as being a taliban member and living in afghanistan....

On the larger question of denial of AOS even married to USC. Here are some observations and facts.

No... unless the alien is involved has issues of moral turpitude (smoked weed and got caught, charged with dui, felony), conditions will bar him or her from completing a successful AOS. If you are married to a US citizen, working without permission, overstay etc, are forgiven. However, if you never paid taxes when you were working illegally, it could be grounds for denial, till you pay them.

However, marriage to a US citizen pretty much cure minor indiscretions, but not the major moral misbehaviors...such as being caught with a dead hooker in your manhattan apt... If you are an immigrant, wait till you are a citizen to commit your worst crimes... if you so desire...

Missed the ex part... understood.... I hope the one you are married to is paying all his taxes, including doggy taxes in your state. Irrespective of whether you have a dog or not...

cheers,
