I'm married to a U.S citizen. Now, as a F-1( International student), I'm filling to adjust my status. I've been working illegaly, filed tax returns every single year. On form G-325A, it's said: Applicant's employment last five years, my questions are: should i be honest to write it down my jobs or just put student? Is it going to affect me? What's the penalty? I'm worried about that part. Thank you

Since you filed a return, they're going to know from the get go so better not lie about it. Although, I don't believe it really matters when adjusting to a CR/IR-1 as far as the work is concerned... Definitly should consult with a lawyer to see your options, but honestly, I've heard many stories about people working illegally on an F-1 and still adjusting status.. as far as I know, it's not TOO big of a deal when dealing with family member matters.

It's hard to say if filing a return was the right or wrong thing to do...

You are pardoned for working illegally and also for overstaying when married to a US citizen. State that you worked. It will not be held against you. This is a fact. I consulted with an immigration lawyer and got that response.
