    Default Consequences of F1 Student Working for an Unauthorized Employer for Green Card App

    I have a friend who came to talk to me and I just wish I could have some answers for him but I don't know much about immigration law. He is a F1 student now and had worked part-time for an unauthorized employer in the past due to his need for money. He was on payroll with that employer using his tax ID. His parents are US citizens and they had filed for the family green card a while ago. He's now wondering what the consequences would be with his future greed card since he had worked for that employer - whether it will hurt his chance of getting a green card or there will be any penalties once he receives one. I'd appreciate for any helpful responses.

    There are potential serious consequences for illegal work. Paying taxes alone will not resolve the problem. US citizen parents imply there may be other significant issues once his background is investigated; he should not have received a student visa with immigrant intent. He needs to consult an attorney.

    For future reference, working illegally may not have been necessary. He should have consulted the DSO at his university. There are proper procedures that an international students can follow to obtain work authorization in extraordinary circumstances.
