Presently in the US, not eligible to adjust status in the US but eligible to file for provisional waiver for unlawful presence and will have to go back to my country for the interview. Just concerned if consular officer conducting the interview asked how i'd been sustaining myself all these years and I cannot deny the fact that I never worked because I have been in the US for 30yrs but never been married until 3yrs ago. My question is " Is working without authorization grounds for inadmissibility into the US?" Does anyone have any answer to my concern. Thank you for your time.

You tell the truth. The illegal work is dealt with in the waiver process along with your illegal entry/presence, etc.

Thank you, are you saying the provisional waiver for unlawful presence covers illegal work too?

Just nervous 'cause I will be applying for the provisional waiver soon and have to depart the US to attend Immigrant Visa in my home country later this year but do not want to be caught up with additional grounds for inadmissibility. Do you know anyone that has gone through this process of leaving the US for interview overseas? Thank you for taking time to read
