My wife got a I-485 ref today. The INS ask her file I-485 supplement A with $1000 fine for "without lawful immigration status or have worked in the US without INS authorization for a consecutive period of more than 180 days."
She came to US as my F-2 and then F-1->OPT->H-1. We are confused about this ref. The only thing we are not sure is that she worked catering (preparing food and other stuff) inside campus. We thought F-1 can work legal inside campus.
Did anybody know if this kind of on campus work need INS authorization? Many thanks!
