Hi:
I've been in the US for about 19 years. I arrived here with a Visitor Visa and overstayed. I recently married a citizen and we are in the process of introducing all the paperwork at USCIS to adjust my status so I can obtain legal residence.
My question is this, I'm filling the form I-765 Application For Employment Authorization, and in the question number 9 this form asks to write each and every Social Security Number that the person applying might have used in the past.
I did use a Social Security number invented by myself, because I worked all these years when in reality I shouldn't have since I only had a Visitor's Visa, but I had no choice, I had to support myself and in order to obtain employment I had to write down a Social Security number in every job application, and then make all the contributions to it that were deducted automatically from my paycheck.
Should I answer honestly this question, or should I just type N/A?. What could happen if I do answer one or the other?.
My other question refers to question number 15 in the same I-765 application, the question is Current Immigration Status, should I answer VISITOR, OVERSTAY or VISITOR OVERSTAY?.
Thank you very much.
