Now, if you EWI you can still fix your status through marriage but you have go to a consulate in your home country to complete the process. Unfortunately, if you have been in the country illegally for more than a year, you'll trigger the 10 ban. In order to avoid this, you can request a waiver so you can step out and come back in. It is a much longer and painful process.

I-601As honestly aren't that hard. You can DIY them, as I noted in my above post what the agents want, and the important thing being that you control the narrative. They won't call you in and ask about everything for an I-601A, it will be an administrative process:
I-601A received
biometrics taken
(whole lot of nothing which may include an RFE but it is unlikely)
Decision Issued (approval or denial), and you proceed from there.
This is the complete opposite as when it comes to I-485 where they will call you in, and ask questions about your taxes, and ask questions you might not even be prepared to answer.
