Ok if someone enters the U.S illegally like in 1995 and then his Boss in 1999 applies for work permit in 2000 he goes to Mex and it gets approved does that automatically cancel the first illegal entry Will immigration not look before the work permit his daughter is applying for him she is 25yrs

Where are he living right now?

Why his daughter is applying for him to get a work permit? Like a work visa you mean?

Was he honest when he applied for the work visa and disclosed his illegal entry?

So it won't affect him? Hopefully

??  Of course, the sins of the father can impact the father himself.  He is the benificiary of the petition, so any ineligibilities he may have will have an impact on him.  (There will be no direct impact upon the daughter, the petitioner, other than how it impacts her father, of course.)

 

As an immediate relative, the overstay will not prevent his adjustment of status.  However, his misrepresentation of a material fact (his prior undocumented entry and work) to obtain an immigration benefit (his work visa) could likely result in a finding of ineligibility for fraud or misrepresentation under 212(a)(6)(C) of the INA.  He would need a waiver of that ineligibility before he could adjust status or obtain an immigrant visa.  Concealing that first undocumented entry would just compound the problem, as it would require yet another misrepresentation on any question(s) asking about US immigration law violations.

 

Even if he manages to successfully conceal it again and his adjustment of status is approved, it could still be a problem in the future.  If ever discovered, it would almost certainly result in deportation order.  Better to be completely honest this time and deal with the issue once and for all by seeking a waiver if he should be found ineligible.  This is the only way to have peace of mind that it will never pose a problem for him or your family again, IMO.

Here's the problem.  He lied for the work permit by not disclosing his prior stay in the US.  

This is not DIY.  He needs to see a competent immigration attorney who will be honest with him.  Plenty of shady attorneys who will take his money, file paperwork, and not care if he gets an immigration benefit or not.

That's what I was telling them but a lawyer said that it would cancel the prior illegall entry so that's why they're going to put date of entry as 2000  I'm honestly thinking of so many things that can pop up as well because he did have an US ID before he even went to get his work visa I guess they used to just give them out

Lies beget more lies......

The only answer in this case is get a competent honest immigration attorney. To set his/your mind at ease, he can seek a second opinion from another competent honest immigration attorney however off face value of what you’re telling us, he has previously lied/misrepresented to immigration and he will need a waiver of some sort if he can even adjust in the first place. 

 

Continuing to lie to protect a previous lie sometimes works, sometimes it backfires. Over here we do not recommend lying. You may want to google Operation Janus/Operation Second Look on how old immigration lies sometimes more than twenty years old came back to bite some people in the behind long after they had become citizens and their immigration journey over and their alien files closed.

And just to disabuse your mind that such things only happen under particular presidents/political parties, these investigations didn’t start under that twice impeached “anti-immigrant” Trump, they were initiated under guess who? 😁
