N-400 Work History Question (Worked with no permit)

[iwanttoleave]

Hi all,

I’m helping a good friend file her N-400 and need some help. In the form there is a question about her work history. She has been working for the same company for 15 years. She came to the US as a student and started working with the company while she had a work permit. Later the work permit expired and she remained working without a permit. She married a US citizen and received her permanent green card 5 years ago. The marriage didn’t work and she is divorced now. Is she going to be questioned why the date that she started working is before she became a legal resident? If so is this going to be a problem? Would you recommend seeking a lawyer due to this issue?

I’ve read that if work illegally and marry a US citizen, you are forgiven.

Please advice =)

They want to know where she worked the last 5 years.

So give them information on where she worked since she became a PR. (5 years of history.)
