I-485 work related question

[sweezy]

I am the husband of a US Citizen and we got married last october 2017. I have been living here in the US since 2008 (I was 15 and a half years old back then), and have been working under the table since I was 19 yrs old. I met my wife when we were 21 yrs old and fell in love. She had a kid and now i consider him as my own. We practically lived close to each other since the beginning and only decided to move in together this march 2017. Now my question is do i disclose my previous works(I had 3 jobs in 6yrs) prior to our marriage? Is that included in the "waiver" due to the fact that im married to a us citizen?

Yes unauthorized employment is ignored when you are an immediate relative of a USC.

Did you enter the US legally? If not you generally won't be eligible for I-485.

Note that there is no "waiver" involved because there is no ban -- there is no ban for unauthorized employment, and there is no ban for unlawful presence (no matter how long) if you haven't left the US.

Yes I was inspected when I entered the USA. I have my I-94 and the Expired Non-immigrant Visa. I haven't left the US since and have been residing here since 2008. Thank you so much for your reply! This forums really helps because I was in a debate with my wife on whether to disclose the unauthorized employment and I told her that not disclosing it would cause too much trouble and I have told her that I'm her spouse, the unauthorized employment would be be disregarded.

So just to make sure,
I will check YES on part 8 #16 and #17
