Hey! 

 

I came to the US on F1 visa and just finished my studies. Myself and my husband just sent out my AOS package that was completed with an help of an agent. I realized afterwards that when we were filling up the questions, she asked me for my ‘“last employment before coming to the States” to which I obviously gave the information of my last job from abroad. However, while in school I did work on campus for a year under my student visa(had paperwork for it, paid taxes etc) but now this information is not disclosed anywhere in the application. 

Anyone had a similar situation or any idea could this cause problems later on? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi there! When you filed form I-130A, there was a section called Employment History. Right above the field it says:

 

"Provide your employment history for the last five years, whether inside or outside the United States. Provide your current employment first. If you are currently unemployed, type or print "Unemployed" in Item Number 1 below."

Volunteer to give this info and this explanation at the start of your interview. Should be ok, they can make changes to your form. 

Thank you to both of you, this is what I thought myself but wanted some confirmation.

Hey yes, I did see these in the papers but while filling them with the agent, the way she asked me about this part got me confused as she specifically worded it “before you arrived in the US” and by the time I realized this mishap it was too late.
