I am on F1. It has been 8 months I have been here now. I started to work for a motel 'unauthorised' from the very start-with a social security, because I had to. I was paid in pay check all the time. Last week I was authorised by my school for CPT 'authorised' employment and I started the job. They authorised this in the 3rd page of my I 20 a a full time CPT and it bears the name of my 'authorised' employer too.
Yesterday, my motel manager, 'of course an Indian' called and gave an offer for me and my wife,who is also on a F1 without a social security. The offer is, we both will be provided with a 1BR apt in the motel and we are supposed to work as a resident manager. I dont want to give up this oppertunity as we wont have to pay for accomodation! and the perks are too good to avoid.
The issues I have to resolve with the help of you "Mastermind Sajha Counsellors" are:
1) The motel want to pay us together in a lumpsum basis on my social security number, so that I can divide or pay the amount between me, my wife and two other Nepali bhai and buhari. They dont want to simply pay me in cash. What should I do? IS it ok to do this on my social?
2) what are the consequences of unauthorised employment? I MEAN ANY REAL EXPERIENCES YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OR KNOWN OR FACED.
3) How does this later affect me If we plan to file for an asylum or go for H1B and later be sponsored for Green card by my 'authorised' employer?
