Torn between two options for my "inmigration status" [Help]

I came to California in 2016 on a student (F1) visa, finished school (2 years), and then worked for a year as part of my OPT. I filed my taxes in a timely manner and received my refund. Currently, I am out of status and am torn between two options, so I was hoping you guys here could help me. I don’t plan on leaving since my home country is a complete mess.

Option A – Try to find a job with my SSN that doesn’t ask me for a work permit and, if hired, pay taxes every year. My SSN has the “only allowed to work with permission of the DHS” restriction. My main concern is that this will cause me trouble in the future if I get the chance to apply for residency. I know everything would be ok with the IRS since I filed taxes every year, but not with immigration.

Option B – I have a fake SSN with a fake name. I bought this from someone. Plan B was to work with this fake SSN without filing taxes. My main concern with this option is that I’ll screw the real owner of that number (I don’t know if its made up or it actually belongs to someone) by earning a wage and not filling taxes.

Which one would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,

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...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
