Sorry, it’s too late to edit this. I was thinking ROC vs AOS. As others are saying OP, you cannot adjust status via any route other than your marriage. Sorry to hear about the situation.
You can divorce and switch to a divorce waiver so that you self-sponsor.
In the meantime, you’re out of status and deportable.
do you have an attorney?
They don’t really reveal such info, but I would guess they check whatever databases were checked in the interim since the previous checks. They are looking for updates.

In general, you cannot interview for a US immigrant visa as a tourist in a 3rd country. The only way to know definitively is to request permission from the US consulate in the country where you want to interview.
You need to have a license to practice as a nurse. The NCLEX is the national exam for licensure.
I don't see how an employer could petition someone for a work visa who is not yet qualified for the job.
