Is my mistake on F-1 visa a material misrepresentation?

You have not answered the question, why does it matter who issues it, how are they able to know that you have never been married before?

*facepalm*. because it is a government record that can be accessed by a judge/registrar. i thought that was implied.

Presumably they can only check their own records?

Considering one is required to provide spouse’s info if the selected marital status is “Married” - that section can’t be left blank, how is a court of law supposed to provide a notarized proof indicating OP wasn’t indeed married considering the spousal information OP must have provided? How is the fact that spouse’s information was put on the form an “oversight”? How is such a document able to overcome the misrepresentation in this case?

i am not a DS-160 expert as I haven't designed the UI for the page and what happens if we select one option or the other. It was just an assumption as when I filled my status as single, it required my parent's info. 

 

Your assumptions is that OP did it on purpose and must have filled the spouse info and I am not assuming any part about the DS-160. I am still unsure that the OP truly remembers what they put.

The legal document is just a way to prove that a person was never married.

that will require the person to submit their local identification proof and other required documents and more often than not comes with a lot of red-tape.

My home Government records would not show my US marriage, they can only check what they have recorded. However much red tape there is.

This is 2010 DS-160 sample, if one selects married on the first part, it asks for spouse info on the family info part. So if OP put as married (though he has doubts on that now), spouse’s info has to be provided.

and the home government records is what I am talking about. DS-160 for F1 visa is filled with your home government records and not US government records as you are yet to have any records in US.

I honestly believe there is no mistake on the OPs part

 

The OP doesn't remember what they filled or it was done on purpose.

How do you know that you put married on your F1 visa? The F1 Visa doesn't show your status anywhere. The only place that I can remember where you put your marital status is the DS-160 and you cannot just check married without giving the information of your spouse. So, I am very doubtful how you even remember that you checked your status as married. You have previously indicated that you do not have the DS-160, so if you are thinking along these lines, I am guessing that it was not an oversight at all.

One doesn’t need to be a DS 160 expert to know that the spouse’s information will be required if you list your marital status as “married”. You even said so in your earlier post, so why the claim of ignorance now? Above is one of your earlier posts to remind you of what you previously wrote.

Why would one think he put “married” if he didn’t? Regardless of whether he did it on purpose or by mistake, consequences are the same. So no point discussing OP’s role in it. He will have hard time getting GC because of that.

[Crazy Cat 39,734]

During an F-1 interview, does the officer review the DS-160 with the applicant?  If so, any accidental marking of "Married" would/could have been corrected at that time.

This is why, imo, there is a real possibility of the OP needing a misrep waiver....

You seem to be missing the point, assuming some Country, any Country, has a national registry all they have is records submitted to them, they can not certify what they do not know. So yes they can say we have no record of marriage in our jurisdiction, so what? Certainly does not address this issue.

Again. That was an assumption with regards to my application when I filled as a single. There is no claim of ignorance. Kindly take your keyboard warrior skills somewhere else

I get what you're trying to say. It was just a suggestion to add definitive proof of not being married.

 

But again, I do not believe OPs claim.
