Filing I-485 and worked without authorization in the past

[Dovydas 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I came to US on K-1 and got married a week ago. Now we're filing all the forms and there is one question if I worked without work authorization. I did that when I was on ESTA in 2020 for about a month while visiting my at the time girlfriend. Then I got denied admission to entry a second time on ESTA in 2021 and I admited that I worked on ESTA last time.

 

I read here that most of the AOS cases are forgiven if worked without authorization if you're married to USC, so my main question is that could be a different(and a problem) that I worked in the past when I wasn't married to USC but I am now?

You should disclose it. And yes it's almost usually forgiven for spouse of USC.

Absolutely, usually if it was an issue it would have been when you applied for the K1
