Hi,
My situation is that From 2011-2014. May I was F1 status and worked in US legally. In May 2014 I went back to home country and got married with my current wife who was F1. Then I got my F2 visa and accompany my wife to US in Aug 2014 to finish her study until now. During 2015-present(2019), I have been working as independent contractor and use my SSN( for working only with permission) to file 1099 tax every year. Now I got my sponsor to apply H1B for me but Our attorney is highly concerned my status. I understand all she mentions.Actually I am current out of F2 Status because of unlawful employment, even though I am not unlawful present now. I Cant adjust my status in US and have to go back to home country to get new visa stamp. But the consular most likely will deny my DS160 and application.
BTW My wife is legal with everything and she is still under her F1 status for her Master in Accounting. She might get H1B after CPA.
Question: 1)Since the unlawful employment record will be with me for life, is there anyway for me to cure that?
2) Is the unlawful Employment going to bar me from getting any visa or green card FOREVER? My wife most likely will get sponsored sooner or after. I am concerned, even though I can go back to my home country and wait for H4 application, It will definitely affect me , but I dont know for how long?
3) Am I have no chance to get any visa or green card in the future?
Please advise
