Im not sure if this is in the relevant area as my question goes over a few different subjects so im hoping somone can help me

my story
i came to the states on a j1 visa to do design at a small firm September 2008 in January due to the downturn my small firm couldn't survive so i was let go obviously making me out of status, but my boss was willing to say i was still working there on my half term so that in essence i kept my status and stay without trouble .
due to the fact that finding work was hard as hell I decided to leave which was fine, until i got a letter from KCC in june saying i had won the 2010 DV Lottery so i decided it was worth staying and simply do a AOS my J1 visa to a green card, however it just dawned on me A. How do they know if you are out of status i mean officially my boss would say i was working there how can they prove i wasn't and what lenghs do they go to to see your status is current, because if it is just a simple case of looking me up on the system i am fine but do they call the place of work etc.
Please any help would be great as i am just about to send the money into the state department to pay for AOS.
also do they check your bank account as i have obviously been payed on various jobs but undeclared of course
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Hope you understand that you need to go through 'J Waiver' procedure as well before submitting your i-485!!

I'm not sure if you do CP still you need to do it, may be you have to in any case. That procedure may involve your 'current job' info as well......so, more and more 'misrepresentation of facts = L..s" adds up!!
Weigh your options pal and the ramifications of your actions.

Good Luck !
