Hello.

I am getting married to my lovely husband at the last weekend of September who is a US citizen.

and I came to America in 2007 summer as a foreign student.

Currently, I am on OPT. But since the institution I work with OPT does not pay me well, I also work somewhere else as a manager (getting paid under the table).

Here is my question,

I am looking at G-325A now and it requires me to state my employment history in US.

I did work for my school before I graduated for around 1 year (in-campus employment).

But I am not sure whether I have to state the current job that I have now as a manager.

It is confusing me because some would say I should not state anything like that, others would say that I have to be honest with USCIS otherwise I will be in trouble.

Can anyone clarify this matter for me please?

Also,

on the section where it says Applicant's last address outside the US of more than 1 years.

Does this mean the address mean before I came to America?

Thank you so much everyone for your help

Hello.

I am getting married to my lovely husband at the last weekend of September who is a US citizen.

It is confusing me because some would say I should not state anything like that, others would say that I have to be honest with USCIS otherwise I will be in trouble.

Can anyone clarify this matter for me please?

I think you should state it honestly. Since you are applying as the immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, past unauthorized work does not hurt your application. (However, it might get the employer in trouble; I'm not sure.)

on the section where it says Applicant's last address outside the US of more than 1 years.

Does this mean the address mean before I came to America?

This quesiton is kinda confusing. Yes, the last address before you came to America where you lived for more than 1 year.
