Advise about employment history I-485

[Issa76 0]

Hello All

I would appreciate if someone gives me some advise about the employment history section on I-485.

I came to the US with student visa 9 years ago, my visa expired long time ago and I stayed in the US all this time. During these years I studied English and I had odd jobs.

I got married to a US citizen and now I'm filling out my forms but to be honest I'm not sure if it's a good idea to admit I had these jobs; also, do I have to list that I was a student on the employment history section or that's not considered as employment?

Thank you!

never lie to immigration.

 

of course they would know you worked illegally here. Otherwise, how could you have possibly supported yourself?

 

think Honesty, not out-smart.

The other thing is that all the social security you paid in can be awarded to your account once you legalized again and eventually cash it out in retirement
