Recommended Answer:
So you lied to get a job and now you have an interview to get the job that you lied to get?

It would be pointless to go to the interview. While some might advise to go and 'fess up, it won't help you. You could try to keep up the lie and get the job, at which point they can't hire you because when you submit identification, it clearly shows you can not work. Or you can tell the truth hoping that they'll have a use for you in one month, 7 days. In this case, you're starting employment with them knowing that you lied to get the job. Actually, either way you show that you lied to get a job. Not a good way to get started.
