I have lived and worked in the U.S. for 20 years now - since graduating from university with my last degree.
I have had a series of visas, culminating with becoming a U.S. citizen in Jan 2016.
Lots of great advice on here, almost all of it accurate.
Overall, I would follow the rules/laws to mitigate a worst case scenario from occurring.
Yes - a PITA - but if you are serious about it, it is the only way to go.
