Hello

I came to the US when I was 12 and got married 2 months ago. I have everything to file but I have a few questions. When I graduated from High School I started my first job with ITIN number I got from my father income tax but I changed the first number also I put in the job application I was a U.S citizen because otherwise they would have ask me for a Green Card in order to work. I was looking online whether or not I should put the fake number on question #9 in I-765 and many people say its not necessary since its not a valid SSN and others say its necessary because there have been cases where it was used to deny an application. Also I read that if you lied about being an US citizen in any document they can be deny AOS. That being said it means they have access to the application I summit for work ?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply ananga73 and I got the paper on the mail to file my taxes but I was scared to do it and i wasnt gonna get much back so I decided not to do it.

Falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen is grounds for denial of any petition for naturalization (citizenship). There is no current waiver under the law for a knowingly made false claim. The problem arises whether the person claiming to be a U.S. citizen knew that s/he was making a false claim. Congress created one way to determine this, when it passed the Child Citizenship Protection Act in 2001.

The question is did you KNOWINGLY make a false claim? You were a child when you came so I am sure you did not knowingly make a false claim

I would suggest you do not lie to USCIS because they can find the I-9 form. Find a competent lawyer. I think you should be fine.
