I received RFE in reference to G-325 A form where I filled out our employment history. They matched my OPT dates and EAD dates and stated I worked certain time frames without proper authorization and wants me to provide evidence that I had employment authorizations for those gaps. My lawyer had said that it would not be a problem and I should put actual employment dates when filling that form. Has anyone received RFE similar to this? If yes, what steps did you take?

What does your lawyer say now?

Well, I have appointment with the lawyer tomorrow. But all research suggest, that unathorized work of more than 180 days will result not adjusting the status or change in status. I am surprised that there are not many people who got in this situation. This RFE is killing me. If anybody been in this situation, please share what is best approach. Thanks in advance.

Samething happened to me due to which i have to withdraw my case.

@ Simple Thinking,
Did you have to travel back home for future adjustments? There is no other way out of this mess? Can you please share your experience more?

@8848m

Actually I could not understand your situation. What do you mean that your OPT, EAD and work history don't match? How did you work without authorization? Do you mean that you worked for more than 20 hours in student status using your SSN without authorisation?

Yes, I had OPT on associate degree, started a job as manager and continued it. OPT expired but continued the job till Bachelor's degree. Filed EB3 after bachleor's degree completion from new job using associate's experience and got RFE for working more than 180 days in the gap period without authorization  i.e."Between Associate's OPT-new OPT after Bachelor's degree." Hope that explains little more. Thanks.

Did you use that experience that you gained during the " GAP period without employment authorization" for you eb3 application as in " experience required for the professional category?

Had to. Because, there was no other way to show the experience gained for the future job. Lawyer initially adviced, that should not create problem.

Mali ni testai Problem hune wala cha aba

I-485 bharna lako too many question and among them "Have you EVER worked in the US without Authorization?". Pila Ocean city ma gayara tanna ghanta haniyo summer ma ...Past five years ko Employment history provide garnu parna raicha . Koi sathi haru hununcha mero jasto situation ma ?
Tara ma 2013 ko jan ma Nepal gayara aako thiya so 2013 ko summer ma matra 3 months jati off campus kaam gareko chu.

Sathi haru le k garnu bhako thiyo yesto situation ma.

Ganesh in your case you are fine ,

The only reason 8848 is in trouble because he used that unauthorised work as an experience to build his perm case. in your case you left usa and came back so the 180-day limit resets right there regardless.If I would be you I would write no on the ocean city days for work history.


8848, I think your lawyer did mess up, if somehow you can prove that the unauthorised experience was less than180 days you might have a chance. Talk to a really good lawyer. and keep us posted.

There was one similar case found online, looks like this guy is also Nepali

यो त अलि सेरिओउस नै कुरा भयो | मैले पनि एभ३ मा भर्न लाको छु तर ५ वर्षा को experience नराखेर. मैले नि २०१३ मा तेसरी नै सामाजिक मा घण्टा हानेको थिए| तर २०१५ मा बचेलोर पास भैयो र अब वोकिल संग अर्को बुधबार यो बिसय मा कुरा गर्न लाको छु
२०१५ मा त मेरो TPS र OPT को EAD आएर जून देखि कम गरेको थिए| हेरुम क हुन्छ सायद उनीहरु ले हेर्दा मेरो बचेलोर सिद्दिसके पछि को हेर्चन होला

Khai k Khai K , wokil le 180 din katya cha vani kehi gari ni mildaina status milauna vanyo, ajai research garera vanchu vanya cha, yestai vayo . anaitik kaam gareko chai nalekhe huni rahicha. sabailai goodluck mero tarfa bata.

साथी भाई मित्र हरु, सायद सबै कुरा को उपाय हुन्छ र एसको नि अवस्य हुन्छ. मैले नि research गर्दा एस्तो कम गर्ने धेरै मित्र बन्दु हरु छन् तर सबै जना ले सहरे गर्दैन यो कुरा तर एसको अवस्य उपाय चै छ है. Dont loose हुप

Source:- व्यक्तिगत अनुभव . 1 year ko bhok ra nindra haram. 10 jana Manche haruko 10 ota assumed suggestion. koi bhanthe kei hunna, fine tiraucha ani thik huncha. All बुल्ल्षित and लेग पुल्लेर्स. consulted many lawyers, both free and with charge. spent 2500 + in lawyer consulting fees. none of them said they can suggest jhuto bolna. then luckily someone in similar boat shared her experience. did same Ani sabai kura bhayo without any hassle. Big Big Gratitude to that person.

Couldnt resist not replying to this thread coz dont want others to go thru same hassle as i did in lack of this simple info. Hope this helps. Please use your own discretion and judgement.
Hope we all will do good in this foreign land far from home and make our next generation even better :)
