sticky situation

Yep, the law doesn't look down too kindly on people who hire illegals. Not only would he face fines, but even possible jail time. So seems to me that he's either bluffing or ignorant of the law...

She is NOT and was not "illegal" Good grief. She is NOW a citizen and WAS a permanent resident

Nothing here indicates she "failed to file a tax return" she may well have been in a joint return with her husband, we do not know and your answer assumes things not mentioned.

She failed to claim income and employment (that much we DO know), not a material matter for USCIS.

Huh, good catch. He said "does not claim that income on her returns" which implies to me she filed, so that's good!

A friend of my wife (also a Latina) asked us for advice. She works as a housekeeper for a family. She works off the books, meaning that she gets paid in cash. She doesn't declare that income on her returns.

I apologise I missed this part. So she filed her returns but lied on them by not declaring certain income... that's not a USCIS issue. As I said before not declaring the employment isn't a reason for revocation.

She's fine. He cannot hurt her status. She is a citizen how. She has the same rights as him.
