Re: greencard

There are several questions here. Are you getting your green card as an immediate relative of an American Citizen? If yes, your unauthorized employment will be forgiven as an exception. If not, then there is a question whether your previous employment was authorized or not. Students on F1 are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week on campus or, with a special permission, of campus. If this is how your worked, you are fine. If you took unauthorized employment, you need to consult an immigration attorney immediately. You may have serious problems obtaining a green card.
