I recently got married and I sent in my papers to apply for a green card.
We filled out our papers without help from a lawyer. Only from the instructions we found from the government sites.
We got a letter back from them saying that we forgot to send in a paper, and that we need to send proof of our taxes. And I read through them and it said to include the household member's income. and that the household member's income must have been from a "lawful source" and earned while the household member was authorized to work in the United States.
Anyways, we put that I am self employed in the section of the papers where it asked about the household income. I do not have a work permit. I'm not sure what to do. We didn't think that clearly when filing out our papers. Since I don't have a work permit, does any kind of work I do for an income count as an unlawful source of income?
Does this mean I'm screwed and might be deported? I'm having trouble finding places that can help answer. The only lawyer I found that can help charges around $100 for just a 15 minute visit. I know I'm gonna eventually have to go see him. But I'm seeking for answers from others first to get a heads up of what I should be expecting.
