Can You Get an Employment-Based Green Card After Working Without Authorization?
In today’s video, we’ll be talking about section 245k of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and whether it is possible to get an employment-based green card after working without authorization.
The video discusses section 245k of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and whether it is possible to obtain an employment-based green card after working without authorization.
Generally, aliens who do not have lawful immigration status or have violated their status are not eligible for a green card.
However, section 245k provides an exception for employment-based green card applicants who have violated their status for a limited period (up to 180 days).
The 245k forgiveness does not apply to all immigration violations and is limited to certain employment-based green card categories.
USCIS interprets the 180-day period as referring to the total of all three types of violations combined, and unauthorized employment counted before and after the I-485 filing is included.
It is important to note that the 245k forgiveness does not mean that working without authorization is allowed,
and other consequences such as removal or deportation may still apply.
To get all the information, pay attention and watch the video through to the end.
