Need help understanding forgivness for undocumented work.

My wife has an F-1Visa, did undocumented work and married me, a U.S. citizen.

We are in the process of applying for green card and because of the public charge rule, our immigration lawyer recomends doing joint taxes. this requires us to report the undocumented work which we are happy to do.

My wife is super stressed that forgivness through marriage only allows you to apply for green card. she is very afraid that reporting the undocumented work will cause problems with her visa status, and she will be black listed for travel, and lose the ability to do her well paying job in her country. Due to culture, she can't fully accept and trust information from the lawyer.

Two questions: Where can I find information about laws / cases about the forgiveness of undocumented work through marriage and its effect on F1- Visa status

In your experience, is it possible for my wife's nightmare to become a reality?

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...
