sorry, your timeline shows that you are applying for an R1 (religious worker)...perhaps you meant 'IR1' or 'CR1?'

You need to correct your profile then, because right now it says you are applying for R-1.

How does your employer feel that he doesn't have to have you fill out the form? Are you being paid cash, off the books? I believe every employer needs to have this form filled out.

He pays me with check and when I ask him for that form he told me I never fill it out, that he didn't required me to fill that form out. But my question now is. USCIS already approved my waiver didn't they supposed to know all that? I

Mean how do they think people living illegally in the U.S. Work? My family needs to eat I had no other option but to work, never had any problems with the law since I got there in 2006, if the employers did not make me fill out that form is not my fault right? I mean what else can I say to the CO?

You weren't supposed to be here in the first place.

Since you were, they want to know if you committed felony fraud while working illegally. Using fake or stolen social security numbers, fake documents etc, especially claiming to be a U.S. Citizen is very serious. Just working under the table is less serious.

All you can do is tell the CO the truth, that you never filled out an I-9. The I-9 is the employer's responsibility, not yours.

Can you get a letter stating that you had worked with that shop before? Stating the timeline and position during the tenure? Since you cannot generate I-9 out of thin air. Maybe this will provide some sort of support for you. You still have time, and do you have an attorney? in my opinion, this situation is not a DIY type of thing.

However, you haven't answered the question posed by the members here that is very important, have you ever claimed to be a US citizen since 2006 to date?

Hi, i have never claimed that I'm a U.S. Citizen, and I've got some letter from previous employers stating I did work for them from-to and the position I had there, my current employer gave me a letter also stating that I have worked with him since 2010, my wife got me a IRS transcript also (I don't know what that is) and I do have a lawyer he helped me filling out a I-864A that the CO also ask me for! But my lawyer pretty much told me that I am on my own now, he didn't gave me any type of advice on what to say in the interview, I thought the CO would ask me questions about my wife and son about how we met, how long we have been married etc, the CO did ask questions about that, but when he asked me about work stuff I freaked out because I wasn't ready to answer that kind of questions, I got too nervous and I believe I didn't answer correct that's why I'm stuck in this whole situation! ? I didn't know what else to do that's why I came here to have some type of advice! And I appreciate you guys taking your time to answer!! Edited December 21, 2015 by 3R1CK

Ok bring those papers from your current and previous work. And good to know that you never claimed being a US citizen because they'll find out. Bring those papers that support you and explain to the CO the circumstances.

If you are telling the truth, just be more confident the second time around.

I will, thanks though!

There are many small companies and self employed sole proprietors who employ people without all the proper paperwork. It's a 1099 kind of world here in America right now. A world of subcontractors.

Sp maybe your process will take longer as these COs demand documents that you cannot produce! They just want you to incriminate yourself. You may be at their mercy at this point, and you might have to just keep at it until they can't think of a reason to deny you. Even if you did what people are saying officials suspect you of doing, if there is no proof, well . . .

Just do better at your second interview, like the previous poster said and best of luck to you.

Since OP admits to unlawful presence in the U.S., shouldn't there be I-601 (provisional waiver) involved at the consular interview? What about I-212?

I agree with most everyone else that the CO is trying to determine if document fraud was somehow used to be able to work by someone unlawfully present.

I have my waiver approved. I haven't second interview on Monday, so I'll let y'all know how it goes!

I predict that your case will be held up as the CO will insist on seeing an I-9 or something else, no matter what stories you offer instead (I would).
