Visiting USA with previous overstay 10 years ago

[cvf821]

Hello. I entered the USA as a tourist in 2012. I left on my own accord without any removal proceedings in 2016. While in the USA, I overstayed my visa by 3.5 years and worked without authorization, triggering a 10-year bar. During my active status as a tourist, my father filed a family-based petition for me under F2B. Since the wait time was long, I decided to go home and get married. My husband and I eventually moved to Canada. I have a flight tomorrow to the USA from Canada with the immigration border in Calgary. I am visiting for 24 days. I am worried about being inadmissible. I have waited 10 years to enter. I have strong ties in Canada and works for the provincial health authority.

What can I expect?
Do I need to declare that I worked without authorization?
What are my chances of being inadmissible?

Thank you.

This is a US immigration question if you are living in Canada.

Would have probably gone to a land border first to see if you could enter the US at least once before booking a flight and a 3 week stay btu too late at this point. Nobody will be able to predict if you will able to enter the US. Your current ties to Canada don’t erase your overstay and work without authorization.
