Whether there’s a risk of being arrested while out of status after filing I-130
I’m going through the green card process through marriage. In the meantime, I’m worried about the possibility of being arrested.
Also, I’m actually already working — I’d like to know if that could also be a problem.
Have you applied for work authorization (EAD)? Please apply for work authorization and work under that. Sometimes people skip applying for work authorization due to cost concerns or because their SSN is coming soon anyway, but if you’re already working, please go ahead and file for the EAD right away.
