A: There is insufficient information in your question in order to provide an informed opinion. Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can flush out all of your facts in order to be able to best advise you. Note that ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many firms offer online video consultations.

A: If you have a job and are working with an employment authorization document, you should not have a problem.

However, If you are working illegally, while in the process of acquiring legal status, it depends. I strongly suggest you speak with an immigration attorney about this issue. You would not want to lose the opportunity of becoming a lawful permanent resident.
