I am a USC filling for my wife who is currently on F-1 OPT Status. her OPT status begins on January 15, 2018 and she is still looking for work. Before that, she attended college since her arrival in the US in September 2014 and graduated in November 2017
In September 2017, she got a temporary job at her college university museum for 3 weeks (the only one job she has done in the US), the college gave her a W-2 and we filed tax jointly this year.
My question is about her work history on form I-130 and I-130a :
1- Should we state her current status as unemployed or student, she still have a valid I-20 from her school for the OPT period.
2- Should we list her temporary work at the college museum differently from student status on form I-130a Part 2 ? We plan to list her student status for the questions they asked employment.

Hi fellows,
I am a USC filling for my wife who is currently on F-1 OPT Status. her OPT status begins on January 15, 2018 and she is still looking for work. Before that, she attended college since her arrival in the US in September 2014 and graduated in November 2017
In September 2017, she got a temporary job at her college university museum for 3 weeks (the only one job she has done in the US), the college gave her a W-2 and we filed tax jointly this year.
My question is about her work history on form I-130 and I-130a :
1- Should we state her current status as unemployed or student, she still have a valid I-20 from her school for the OPT period.
2- Should we list her temporary work at the college museum differently from student status on form I-130a Part 2 ? We plan to list her student status for the questions they asked employment.
that might give something like this:
09/2014 - 09/2017 :student at X university
09/2017: cleaner at X university museum
09/2017 - present : student at X university
Is this a right way of doing it ?
Thanks for your help
