Hi, we are slightly panicking as we are preparing for our interview (in about a month) and realized we accidentally checked the wrong box under the General Eligibility and Inadmissibility Ground section of the I-485 application. The question asked, "Have you EVER worked in the United States without authorization?"

 

We answered no, and it must have been an oversight. My husband worked for cash "under the table" for a few months in 2019 and 2020. We even listed this employment under the employment section of the application. When filing our taxes, we also paid taxes on this income.

 

Will this cause an issue in our interview? Should we correct this before our interview, or during it? How can we bring this up?

 

Thank you for any advice.
