Should I be worried about possible misrepresentation on student visa submitted by travel agency?

Hi all, I'm about to remove condition on green card.

 

Years back, I came to the US on F-1 Visa: applied three times, first and second denied, third approved. I used a travel agency at the time because I had no clue on how to apply for such visa. 

 

And now, there's a thought in my head that there could be a small chance that they might have misrepresented me on the Visa application: the one thing I'm worried about the most is my marital status on the visa app.

It was a 4-5 years ago and I don't exactly remember what the travel agency put on it.

 

I'm afraid that they might put "married" (I was single and my full intention was going to school in the US and I did for 5 years before marrying to my citizen spouse) to show that I still had tie in my home country to prove that once my study is done, I would return. That would increase the chance of having the visa approved.

 

Question: does USCIS review your very first immigration application (in my case the denied F1 visa) and other immigration documents before making a decision on granting one immigration benefit? 

I wouldn't have received my GC had they (USCIS) found any discrepancy/misrepresentation on my visa applications right?

 

To be sure, I've submitted a G-639 form asking for those two visa applications to make my mind at peace. But in the meantime, would love you hear your thought...

Short answer is that you are liable for anything you signed regardless of who prepared it.  You swore an oath at the interview stating everything you submitted was correct.   You also had the opportunity to correct any errors at the interview.

I completely understand everything that you said here.

 

But I guess what I'm asking is: since my green card has been approved and I've had it for almost two years now and after USCIS doing their own investigation and looking at my immigration history (during GC application/process, biometrics etc...) the chances of possible misrepresentation on my visa applications are none right? Like I said, if there were issues/misrepresentations on those forms, USCIS wouldn't have approved my GC.

Just to make one thing clear: this is just a suspicion of mine, the DS 160 visa applications might be spotless for all I know.

But because I'm a perfectionist (or at least I'm trying to be especially regarding my future here in the US), I want my immigration journey to be without as many obstacles as possible.

There’s a fine line between making sure everything is perfect and paranoia. Make sure you’re not crossing over. You do seem to conjecture bad situations for whatever reason.

Just another random guy from the internet with an opinion, although usually backed by data!
