DV Lottery Diversity Visa interview

[verun_96_35]

Hello,
I am a Diversity Visa 2011 winner and I live in New York. Right now I have f-1 status.
I have been working as a waitress in a restaurant (40 hours per week) for a year and a half. I have to work out of necessity because my family is very poor and nobody can support me.
I got married here in the U.S. to a person who doesn't have any legal status here and last March I recieved a letter saying that he has to be deported. If he leaves the country our marriage will be destroyed beacause I am not willing to go with him to his country. That's why he didn't leave the country and we still live together.
My interview is coming very soon and I am very worried about two questions I might be asked by the officer. In your opinion what would be the most reasonable answers to theese questions:
1) How come that you work being an international student and knowing that you are not allowed to work in this country?
2) Your husband should have been deported from USA last March (and we sent you a letter informing you about the time and the date on which he was supposed to be deported) but we don't have any information saying that he left the coutry which means he is still here. Does he live with you?

I suggest you do one of two things.

Ask to be repatriated to your country or hire an attorney.

You're breaking our laws.

You're a guest in our country.

By breaking our laws you limit your ability to stay here legally.

We grow enough poor people without importing them.

Please, obey our laws.

Or, you subject yourself to deportation and banishment to your homeland.

oh desperately breaking many rules, I wonder what is the stay period for F1 visa holder?

The stay period of a F1 visa holder is not on the visa but on the I -20 of the school, so as long as that student is still studying at the school, he or she is legal in the US. Or after getting a degree, that student can apply for OPT to get an employment authorization card to work for a year. The requirement is the job has to be related to the major that student study at the school.
