U.S.C.I.S. should not contact your employer when you apply for naturalization. The process does not involve a determination of financial support or ability to make a living. You are asked, however, to bring in your recent tax returns which allows an officer to look into whether you have been paying taxes and if not, ask the question why not; see whether your taxes indicate that you have been staying in the States most of the time; where you have been residing; in the case of marriage green cards, whether you are still living together and filing joint taxes with your spouse, etc. In our experience, we have never encountered a situation in which the immigration officer contacted the applicant's employer in a naturalization setting.

You may be able to petition for a spouse's legal permanent residence. In order to understand the process, you should consult with a qualified immigration attorney.

You need to speak with an immigration attorney to evaluate whether the misdemeanor plea was a CIMT and if so, whether it fits within the petty offense exception. Additionally, you may be entitled to a waiver. Also, because you entered illegally, you need to consult with an attorney to see whether there is any chance you can still adjust your status in the US or must consular process. If you must consular process, you will likely need a waiver for unlawful presence. Keep your ear on the news to see when the Obama administration's state-side waiver proposal becomes law.
