[Zina]

Hello,
I hope someone can give me advice.
I won a green card, Its in process now. I am on F1 status, I know Im not allowed to work.
I work and pay taxes, could somebody tell me if there are cases like mine , and people got it ?
I like this job and I dont want to quit it. But I am afraid of when I will be asked for interview they will not give me a green card.

Even with F1 you can legally work in some cases.
Are you legally employed? If not, than this can be a big issue in getting your GC.

I gave my SSN, but it actually expired, I used to be on J1 then I changed for F1 Status. And I get Pay check every two weeks with all taxes and stuff in it. I work in the store 40h/week.

I don't know if USCIS can find out that you are working illegally.
And I don't know for sure if they may reject your GC application because of this, but I'd rather say if they find out your application will be rejected.

Congratulations.Go head and apply! I don't see any issues here! At your interview, if asked, tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Lying to immigration officer is a crime! You will get your green card! Please, share with us.
Good luck

Thank you !!!
Yeah and this is what I decided to do. Just work as worked and step by step getting all papers. Let's hope that they won't reject my applications right after I send it.
My number is already current, so this week I will send pics and Forms. May be by New Year I will get my green card

I quit my job in october. ANd I got a new one. I dont work on pay check anymore, but I get a regular bank accaunt check. And after I had sent out my first applications and pic, i received a payment request. In december I paid 440 dollars fee for DV, and now im waiting for receipt and getting my medical exam in JAnuary 3d, than I will apply for adjustment of status.
how do you think if I apply for AOS in the middle of JAnuary, can I get all done by middle of March?
