OPT to Green Card marriage adjustment

[JohnTheEdward 0]

Hi guys, 

 

So I just got married (yay) and am in the process of applying for a change of status from my OPT extension of my F1 visa to the green card. In the i-485 it asks for you to list your past employment for the past 5 years. On the OPT i am granted work authorization and a social security number and so can get work, but I should really only work in my field of study. However for the past couple of weeks I :have been working at a cafe whilst also employed in a job in my field of study. I was wondering what I should do with the employment question: whether I should not put down my cafe job (as technically I shouldn't be working it) and risk them finding out I lied or; if I should put down my cafe job and hope that they either don't look into it or that its not actually illegal what I've done since I do have work authorization and a social security number?

 

Has anyone been through a similar situation?

 

Any thoughts or suggestions would be great! 

 

Thanks very much!

Be honest. That adjustment bar doesn't apply to "the spouse or child (unmarried and under 21 years old) of a U.S. citizen, and the parent of a U.S. citizen older than 21." https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-8

You need to be honest.

Thanks for the help.
It says: "An adjustment applicant applying as an immediate relative MAY be eligible to adjust status" is the fact that it says 'may' a reason to be concerned or is it very likely that the adjustment bar wont apply to me?
And do I have to prove this in my application, or will the worker handling my case know these laws?

It uses the word "may" because other factors may prevent you from adjusting. However the items listed in the bullet points are adjustment bars that DO NOT apply.
