불법 상태로 계신 것도 아니었는데, 왜 특별사면을 기대하며 세금보고를 하셨는지요….
나중에 문제됩니다. 근데, 과거이기에 지금 님이나 남편분이 뭘 할 수 있는 건 없고, 복복불입니다. 심사관이 실수로 못보면 상관없고, 꼼꼼하게 서류 점검하면 걸리는 거고요. 도움이 별로 못되서 죄송합니다.
Sorry for English. My laptop doesn’t have Korean input system. There is 245k rule. It is different from 245i. According to 245k, if there is any unlawful employment of stay with 180 days since the last entry to U.S, it can be overlooked during I485 process. The good thing is 180 days count after the last U.S. entry. So if you go out of US and come back, you can clear your bad history such as unlawful employment. I believe your concern is unlawful employment not the tax itself. Just try to go to Canada as ground travel and stay in Canada a couple of days. When you come back, collect any receipts to prove that you stayed in Canada. My lawyer gave me this idea and I got GC. Search 245k and you can find detailed info.
A little more advice. In my case, lawyer recommended that I should put everything including unlawful things in I485 application. I had my business during H1b and paid tax. It is definite unlawful. The lawyer wrote it in the I485 and also mentioned that my last entry to US was a certain date and there is no more unlawful employment after the last entry. Also she mentioned 245k and I am still qualified for I485 process. It worked and I didn’t get any RRE. A year ago, USCIS released a detailed explanation about 245k rule. I hope this helps you and give you a peace of mind. I had also a big concern but it went well.
