Hey guys. I'm currently adjusting my status from F-1 to permanent resident through marriage.
Me and my wife (US citizen) have been married almost 5 years now. When we first got together I stayed in the US three times on VWP and twice on a tourist visa (stayed longer than months). We were engaged when I applied for the visa, but at the interview I told the officer she was just my girlfriend and I was happy with it just being that at that time (or something along those lines). Quite frankly I was just really worried I'd get the visa denied and I wouldn't be able to be stay with my fiance, so panicked a bit! The officer asked what I planned on doing when I returned home, and I said me and my girlfriend would apply to university in the UK (my home country). That was the completely the truth, and after we got married we left after for a year and half to go to university in the UK. Everything else in the interview and application paperwork was truthful as well, it was just the one thing that wasn't.
After that year and a half, we came back to the US as students, and filed the adjustment of status right after I graduated (2 and half years later) when we decided we wanted to stay here.
Now we've filed for adjustment of status, is this going to come back as something that will really hurt the application, and how should I handle that?
Thanks everyone!

We were already married when I had my F-1 I interview. I told the officer I was married as part of an answer to a question he asked. There weren't any further questions asked about it, or my previous visitor visa application.
The only thing I was really worried about is if in my green card interview, they ask when we got engaged, and the answer (the truth) will contradict what I said in my original visitor visa application.
