Almost there!

Did you get your GC? Are you still living in Michigan?

Yup, that's how long these waivers are taking now. Seems the USCIS is moving faster now with the HART center however. Now just patiently waiting for my consular interview, which is inducing a lot of anxiety :D

Annnnd I'm now not sure if I should go through with the consular interview, since prior unauthorized work is grounds for inadmissibility if you're not applying with an immediate relative (dad is petitioning me and I'm over 21 at the time of application).... Getting very anxious about this, and may just try to adjust status via I-130/I-485 through my USC partner. Seems those are taking around 12 months, which is not bad, but then also pretty much guaranteed to work, and you don't have to leave the country (I think).

I don't think unauthorized work is in the list of "inadmissibility". Like many, before I had DACA I worked without authorization for nearly a decade and that never came up during my IR-1 visa process. Not sure about any other visa types.

Yes, if you have a legal entry record you can do AOS via your US Citizen spouse.

I think I was also looking at INA section 245, but now I’m not sure if that only applies to a 485 form, or if it also applies to consular process? For reference, I was referring to the ones mentioned here:

If you’re going through consular processing, 245 wouldn’t really impact your case unless you’re switching to adjustment later on
