Employment History on Form I-485
I am on F-1 status and am applying for green card (spouse is American). I have neglected to register for CPT for a couple of semesters during my degree. Should I fill in my employment history according to my registered CPT courses on my I-20s, or should I fill it to the best of my knowledge of when I start or end employment?
