Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

I have petitioned for my husband, and we are getting ready to fill out the DS230� in regards to employers there are times where my husband was getting paid cash, or in another instances he was working under another name� for reasons unknown to me. Should we write these in or leave those timeframes blank? We don�t want to mess up our chances by doing something wrong on this application. Thank you!

This is a very case-specific question which is always better answered off of the public forum.

In general, yes, he shall list all his prior employment AND all names ever used.

It's critical to be up front and honest with consuls otherwise his visa could be denied as a result. Unauthorized employment shouldn't by itself be an issue. But in some cases it could be a problem, as well as could be the use of a different name. I would be happy to help you out if you contact me offline.
