She has worked for over 5+ years as a freelance web designer "under the table", never filing taxes as the income was never reported. How shall we fill out the G-325A taking this into consideration? And will this cause any issues at any point of the K-1 visa process?

I (petitioner) have everything in order, it's just her (petitionee) that I wanted to be sure about. The income was never reported so her country would have no knowledge of taxes owed - I just want to be sure that this won't cause any problems and wanted to know how the G-325A should be filled out.

Does not matter for K-1 eligibility. She will just put Self-Employed, and occupation Web Designer. Does not ask about taxes, nor do they care if she paid Mexican taxes or not.
