Unauthorized Employment on Student Visa with Immediate Relative

Hello, I am an US born citizen. My wife is from South Korea and recently graduated from nursing school by being in the US for years on a student visa (I think OPT). We met in December and married early this month (April). We are wanting to apply for AOS and EAD for her. She is still located in the US on a valid visa. She has done some unauthorized work in the past.

My understanding is that these bars are forgiven by the USCIS if the person applying has an immediate relative. We are planning to admit to the unauthorized employment.

While it may be true that unauthorized employment with an immediate relative is forgiven, it is still consider illegal. Could there be any other consequences from the unauthorized employment even though she has an immediate relative?

Could it appear on background checks when applying for jobs (nursing position)? Would this cause extra barriers when we plan to travel in the future to other countries? Would this void her education she earned with her student visa? Should we get an immigration lawyer just in case?

I know it will be difficult to give a confident answer as anything can change with the current world situation and government.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
