First off ... I'm glad that I found this site and hoping that there will be a positive answer to my question.. If you are not going to give me helpful information please save your time and just dont post any negative comments ..

Im currently waiting for my AOS to go through.. My wife is the USC and shes the only one working rite now.. now I havent gotten my EAD yet and we are going through some economical crisis rite now and theres actually nobody that can help us money wise...

Is it worth it to work illegaly while waiting for your work permit..?

Im getting desperate, as far as money and just the fact that I'm the man of the house and just can't accept the fact that I have to stay home and do nothing..

If i decide to work under the table (illegally) what do you think would be the consequences if they catch me doing so?

would it be matter of deportation?

sorry to put it like this, but im in need of help cuz im desperate

I would appreciate if you could give me advice

thank you

No problem working illegally [under the table] . Be sure and Not to pay taxes on the money you make also. Good way to get started living in the US. :bonk::bonk:

OOps! You won't be living here very long!

If you don't use social security# to work, I don't think there is a way immigration office can trace back in the future.

But if you get caught while you are working, you will get deported.

I never seen one in person, but I've heard some incidents that students working under the table had to go back home.

(F1 students are not supposed to work)

I say it all depends on your luck.

I am chicken so I would wait and I'm just gonna live off my credit card.

I am waiting for EAD to come in mail since they sent me notification email.

It's been only 2months since I sent the package.

I don't know when you sent the package, but it's not that long.

Your spouse knows why you are not working, and I like your attitude that you're willing to do anything to help her out.

Don't get too depressed. Things are looking up.

You don't show your timeline. When did you apply for the EAD? Working for cash gets both you and the employer in trouble. DHS is sufficiently alarmed at the politics of working illegally that your chances of getting caught are better this year than last year. It would ruin your life.

You jeapordize evrything working illegally and you won't get paid much doing it...so why?

You have another problem. Your wife needs to PROVE for the AOS she makes enough money to support both of you for 10 years, apparently she does not, so you may want to address that situation first. My advice...don't risk it.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

Nope, the mood in the country is very anti-immigrant right now (both legal and illegal). Jobs are scarce. Your chances of being caught are higher than ever. It would seem very foolish to jeopardize what you have taken a long time to achieve
