One important question on Change of Status applications is:
“Have you EVER been employed in the United States since last admitted or granted an extension or change of status?”
👉 If you were not employed in the U.S., you should answer “No.”
But you also need to provide an explanation.
Your explanation will depend on your situation, and you should include evidence showing you were not employed without authorization.
For example, if your father sponsored your trip, studies, or exchange program, you may provide his bank statements as well as your own.
⚠️ Remember: Do not work in the U.S. without proper authorization. Unauthorized employment can harm your immigration case.
Summary:
When completing a Change of Status application, answer employment questions truthfully and provide evidence of financial support if you have not worked in the U.S.
