Hi VJers,
Please help with my situation as not many people have the same experience and will greatly appreciate your input!!!
1. I lived in the States with F-1 status; enrolled full time in school but meanwhile worked without authorization+ filed tax.
2. Finished my college, applied for work authorization (OPT) and got EAD +filed tax.
3. Left the States within legal status period and now applying for K-1 visa.
My questions are:
1. is ( unauthorized employment) it going to be a red flag at the interview and be a cause to deny my K-1 visa?
2. Is it considered as violating the terms of US visa (DS156, question 38) such as overstay and not enrolled in school for full time and not file tax etc.?
3. Should i put Yes or No to question 38, DS156?
if Yes and/or No, what are the proper answers and what were the questions asked by the CO?
Hope it makes sense. Thank you again in advance!
