Q: About form G325: I am in legal status since I came in 2009, but worked without permit for 2 years on visa, should I say?
My husband (a citizen) and me are applying for my residency. in form G325, there is a question about 5 yr employment. Since I came in the US , I maintained legal status, but worked without work permit for almost 2 yrs. Then I stopped working, and later applied for 1 year temporary work permit - was approved. but now should I mention those 2 yrs of that work in 2010? Or just put that year when I worked with permit?? Thank you!
A: The form G325 states that there are severe penalties for falsifying or concealing facts. As an attorney, my advice is to tell the truth. Your application might be denied, but if you conceal the truth, the consequences could be worse.
