Asked on Jul 18th, 2016 on Immigration - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I've been working at the same job since high school. I used a social security number that's bad. Now its kinda been found out because of the affordable care act. My question is if I can try and get my job to sponsor me and if not what are my best bets? I don't have any pending charges, felonies, and I have a bachelors degree. I also have been with this company for close to 13 years.

Whether your employer will sponsor you is up to it. Doing so would be an acknowledgment that it knows that you are not a permanent resident or US citizen. It may feel an obligation to you for your almost 13 years with the company, but it may also be reluctant if you did not previously inform them of your true status or because of the possibility of immigration fines.

It depends upon your present non-immigrant or immigrant status here in the USA, if you can be sponsored. If you're here illegally then you cannot be sponsored.
