I am not saying it's legal, it's like my wife opened up LLC for designing and she got a project for design and she doesn't know how to design so I am just helping her out from home voluntarily. 

just one word: FRAUD

You are trying to take a shortcut. Do the things the right way

Your existing STEM EAD doesn't get 180 days extension since you are not renewing that but applying for a new one via AOS.

 

Any work you do that brings money whether it brings to you or any other person after your EAD expires will be illegal.

Ok, Got it..

Just your thoughts on this,

Employer suggested since they like my work and want me to keep working,

My wife can open up drafting service LLC on her name and my employer said they can give design projects to her LLC and I can do the work and design products for my wife from home and they can pay my wife's LLC every week for the service as they used to pay me for my job. 

 

Do you think, it's a good idea?

Committing fraud is not a good idea.

 

You are not authorized to work after 10/31/2021.  You can't work.  Paying your wife while you work is illegal.

It's called you working illegally without an EAD.

It's fraud because he is not authorized TO WORK.  HE WOULD WORK.  Instead of paying him, the employer would pay his wife FOR HIS WORK.

Here is a suggestion if you want to be able to work sooner legally. Since the employer is willing, get the job offer from them and file the expedite request for the EAD. a number of people have been successful in expediting EAD's using a job offer.

This is the proper and LEGAL way to do this.

You are comparing apples and oranges. 

A suitable comparison would be, the wife gets the job as a chef in a restaurant, she doesn't know anything, he goes and does the chef work for his wife. That's actual work not help and that's illegal work without an EAD.

Btw, this is a sexist comment. You are saying all wife who apply for AOS should cook for their husband. Imagine this being said by a renowned person on TV/camera.

Notice the difference between doing chores in your house and his wife getting paid for him doing illegal work.  It may be lost on you.

Your wife will be breaking federal law.  It is illegal to knowingly employ unauthorized aliens.  The company knows this and they are trying to shift legal liability to your wife while they benefit from your work.

 

This can also jeopardize your AOS application.  While overstay and illegal work can be forgiven for spouses of USC, knowingly engaging in illegal work after AOS application can lead to denial, though I am not 100 percent certain.  If other VJ members can chime in?

Do you pay your wife for the cooking work?  Do you report her wages to IRS?  If so, then yes, it will be illegal if she is not authorized to work.

 

 

EDIT:

 

To make it the same comparison to the OP's situation:  If you generate income from your wife's cooking - that is, you sell the food she makes, then yes, it is illegal if she does not have a valid EAD or GC.
