aren't employers supposed to hold onto I-9 forms for 3 years after date of employment or 1 year after termination / resignation - which ever is greater ? so would an I-9 that was filled out in 2000 still be available to the federal govt. ?

ok. so things are pretty complicated and need legal help. in. your opinion, what would be the way to approach this situation ?

I am working my way down to the I-485. I am taking my time figuring all this out...

see that is what I wasw told too by that laywer I spoke with - that your illegal employment is "pardoned" when you file through marriage. I still have not found a statuate or official document that says that though.

Thank you - I am in the process of getting all of the documentation ready. Would it be in my best interest to hire a lawyer considering the situation is out of the norm ?
