I just recently married. My wife is from Brazil. Anyway, we are in the process of completing our Adjustment of status paperwork. My wife, Isa, came to the states legally on a tourist visa and overstayed her visa. I know her Overstayed Visa is forgiven due to marriage. I do Have a question regarding how to answer the I-485 questions regarding employment. Before coming to the states, she worked as a nurse in Brazil, however, in the US Isa has been working for a friend cleaning houses being paid directly from her friend with cash or check. I was told to be honest about her working unauthorized , because unauthorized work is forgiven as well with marriage.?? My question is how do we answer her employment status: Self-employed, employed ??? and how to describe her work here in US. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As she goes to clients to do said business "Clean"
Go to your local township find out about registering as a self own self employed business get a business tax ID
Find a Tax office or do it yourself online with the help of the many tax services offered
