What would be the best thing to do regarding the interview?

It is important not to lie. If the information on the immigration forms is not 100% truthful you should get them re-done with the trust about employment, residences, etc. and submit at the interview. You are paying the penalty fee for being out of status and this would cover working without authorization as well. Review all forms carefully and have your lawyer correct prior to the interview and explain you do not understand the questions asked for all employment not just employment that was authorized.

I filed I-539 extension for B2 visa on April 2, 2020, but I have not received any result. I only have the 13 digits receipt. Should I leave?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
An applicant for timely B-2 extension is entitled to remain in the US to await the results of the decision, but your better action if you were going to stay past the time that you earlier requested would have been to apply for another extension. If USCIS approves the extension request (six months is the maximum extension time), that will be over the time from April 2, and you will begin to accrue unlawful presence as soon as the decision is made. Whether you stay or leave at this time is your decision, but USCIS would likely prefer for you to leave if you did not file another extension request or other application to attempt to maintain your nonimmigrant status.

Generally, a person must be petitioned by a U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident relative to apply for a Green Card. However, under some circumstances a person who has been in the U.S. for more than 10 years, has not gotten in trouble during that time, and can show that the U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Residence spouse, parent, or minor child, will suffer exceptional unusual hardship can apply for Cancellation of Removal under INA Section 240A(b) before an immigration judge This is a very complicated process that requires representation by an experience immigration attorney.
