How often does unauthorized work come up in an F2B/F24 interview at the embassy? What recourses would one have?

[NoThx 1]

I came to the US at age 10 on a tourist visa with parents, and only got DACA after turning 21. During that time I unfortunately accrued unlawful presence and also had to make ends meet by working your random jobs, some under the table, some not. My mother (who is a permanent resident) petitioned for me, and I've gotten my I-130 and I-601A forms approved during this time (I-601A covered unlawful presence). I now have completed my DS-260 form for consular interview (visa class F2B/F24), but am getting nervous about potentially getting denied if they ask me if I've violated any immigration laws. I understand that for immediate relatives unauthorized work is not a big deal, but seems that doesn't apply to my situation. Any wisdom or insight here is greatly appreciated. Biggest fear is obviously being denied and then having no way to appeal the decision, which would be catastrophic to me considering my entire life is here, and has been since I've been 10.

Did you ever claim to be a US citizen?

Not that I'm aware of (when filling out I-9s, etc.). Certainly never when in response to a government/immigration inquiry.

Well how often does it come up, this may be my first one.

 

Wonder what your Lawyer says, I am thinking a waiver may be required.
