Mero personal experience and maybe useful to those who will file their GC through employment.
1. Do not trust your lawyer 100% on this process. Do your research on your own. Our Nepali community is small but find Desi sites and you will find thousands of cases similar to yours.
In my case, my company decided to use a third party lawyer and after filing the PERM, I found out that she had made a mistake (something to do with EB2 vs EB3). got lucky and approved Then she made another mistake in i-40 but this was corrected. I had to spent few $$$ from my pocket to consult with different lawyer.
2. never show your work experience without proper authorization in any government related paper work or process. This is true for resume too if it is being presented to USCIS or any government related applications. This might come back to you to bite you (even after years of getting GC). It is a simple common sense. I have not read the whole reply from others. But in my case I worked for many years without work permit in check, filed my tax every year. but during my GC process I never showed those work experience. When you write those work experiences (without proper authorization) in your paper work, you are clearly giving information easily at their finger tips that were illegal and will be used against you easily. Some might argue what if they find later. But its not easy. IRS is independent of USCIS and DHS and they don't work together. IRS doesn't care if your are legal or illegal as long as you file your taxes properly. IRS is all bout collecting $$$$$. I have many many friends who worked on check without proper authorization but never mentioned those work experiences during GC process and I have never heard that USCIS found out.
Hope this helps.
