I'm asking for a friend who was selected for DV. He's on an F1 or F2 visa and worked for DoorDash for two months, which is a violation, obviously. He's now applying for I-485 since he's already in the US.
He was told if he leaves the US and goes to Canada or a country in the Caribbean for a few days and then returns to the US, his work violation would be erased. Is there any accuracy to this assumption?
