    Mistakenly included a 1099-NEC in past tax records before filing I-485

    I believe issuer of 1099 corrected from 1099-NEC to 1099-MISC. If this issue comes up, explain to USCIS. I don't think prize $ should have gone to Sch C. It should have simply other income not subject to SS taxes. May be you should file amended 1040 to fix this.
