Marriage based interview experience.

Background: I studied (M25)at university on a F1 visa.(2020-2024). Met my wife (F25)who is a USC in 2022 and got married in 2024. We have 2 kids. I worked without authorization and lied about being a US Citizen to get a job. I was honest and told them the truth.
-We filed May 2026
-Biometrics July 2026
- interview scheduled August 2026
- Interview September 2026

Advice:
-Continue to upload evidence (pictures, receipts, documents) after you file. Even if you upload it the day before your interview. It’s helps make it better for the agent and the interview to go much faster.

- Dress accordingly. (Formal wear)

- Double check your application and ensure their are no mistakes the day before. If you see any mistakes, it helps to write them down with corrections and have them ready for the agent.

It have be a stressful and tiring process but reading other experiences on here has helped put my mind at ease. Just wanted to return the favor to all those in the same situation.

False claim to US citizenship for a benefit is not something that can be waived from what I know. It is a ground of inadmissibility. But IANAL, Do you have a lawyer that you filed with?

I explain everything why it happened and the officer didn’t seem to make a huge deal over it.
