Will the fact that I am working affect my ability to gain US citizenship?

Louis M. Piscopo
Answered by attorney Louis M. Piscopo
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Louis M. Piscopo, APLC
If your EAD only authorizes you to work on campus you cannot work off campus. If you do it is a violation of you current immigration status you could be deported from the U.S. Also, it could make you ineligible to receive a Green Card (you have to have a Green Card for 5 years before applying for US Citizenship) through your father. Also, falsely claiming you are authorized to work or that you are a U.S. Citizen can also prevent you from receiving a Green Card. In fact a false claim of U.S. Citizen permanently bars you from ever getting a Green Card.
