我2021年3月用F1 的 OPT在一个教会工作。2022年3月opt 到期。3个月后 r1 签证批准下来，继续在该教会工作。实际上opt到期 跟 拿到r1签证之前的3个月 我也没有停止工作。以下是我的问题：

1，今年3月（就是下个月）就是我在教会连续工作满2年的时间。根据这里的信息 https://www.uscis.gov/i-360 ，我是否可以申请绿卡？

-Yes, the church you work for can file I-360 for you after you have worked for them for at least two years. You need to wait for the I-360 approval to file I-485. If you are a minister (e.g., paster), you can file I-485 immediately after I-360 is approved. Otherwise,  you need to wait for the I-360 prority date to be current to file I-485 ieven if the I-360 is approved.

2，提交 i360的时候，我是否需要提交 opt 和 r1 签证的相关信息？

-Yes. These document are the evidences on your legal work for the church.

如果是，他们可能会注意到中间的gap问题，是否会有麻烦？

有个朋友告诉我这个信息：

看起来，短时间的 unauthorized employment 可以豁免。是不是这样理解？

-It is true. You can use the benefits of 245 (k) to cover your 3-month unauthorized employment. I would suggest you to file I-360 in June 2023 or later because you had 3-month unauthorized employment. Talk to your employer and the lawyer. 

3，提交 i360的时候需要提交婚姻证公证，出生证公证吗？还是在 i485的阶段？

-These documents are required for you to file I-485, not I-360.

4，i360如果批准，就进入 i485, 需要体检和疫苗。请问现在是否还需要打 covid 疫苗？拜登宣布5月结束疫情紧急状态，是否意味covid疫苗不再免费？

-I am not sure. You may ask the doctor who conducts the physical exam during your physical exam.
