Q: How it will affect my green card interview if I have a government issued state ID, and I have been working without EAD?
Hi. I have recently applied for a green card based on marriage. Me and my husband have been together for 2 years, married for almost one. When I decided to stay in the US, cople people have told me thr you can go to Seattle and get a state ID. It is real and not like the fake ones. So I did. After that I found a job as well. All this time I have been working without EAD and paying taxes as well. Will this affect my interview and green card?
Thank you.
A: The answer to your question depends on the status of your husband. If your husband is a U.S. citizen, then the fact that you have been working without authorization should not negatively affect your application for permanent resident status based on marriage to a U.S. citizen. On the other hand, if your husband is a permanent resident or some other status other than U.S. citizen, then your employment without authorization will be a problem. I suggest that you consult directly with an experienced immigration attorney to avoid problems and have the best chance of success. Best wishes.
