Laurafern....question for Laurel on 12/26

[jlgherrera]

A followup question to something Laurel mentioned in a chat a few weeks ago: she said that on AOS/EAD paperwork, admitting to previous use of a fake SSN is beginning to carry more serious consequences. How serious are the consequences, how often are they cracking down in situations like this, and will it result in denial of AOS?

Thanks!

I don't typically go back and post the answer to each question... too much work. You have to read the chat for that week.

But here it is:

Laurel: Its still kind of a gray area. Admitting to fake use of social could result in criminal proceedings, which for your immigration case means you need a criminal waiver, but reports are sporadic on the enforcement of this particular transgression of the law. If it is enforced uniformly and strongly, most aliens who might otherwise be able to "come clean" will be forced back into the shadows and will continue using the fake social, which doesn't really solve the problem of people using fake socials.

I have to say, that answer wasn't very reassuring. Has anyone else with a K3 gone through this paperwork? Did you run into any problems?
