If this were me, I wouldn't base your lack of recall on a Youtube video.  Try to find your copy of the DS-160, or you could file a FOIA request with USCIS to find out for sure.  Good luck!

True.

But it does make sense though: "married" form will ask about spouse, "k1 visa and single" form will ask about fiance, "single" form only asks about parents.

How do I request my many-years-old DS 160? I can only file FOIA if I am a permanent resident which I am not... yet. Still doing OPT.

I just spent the last few minutes watching DS 160 instructions on Youtube. For those who claimed to be "married," in the FAMILY part the form asks for spouse's name and I definitely remember that I didn't input any information in this part of the form. Therefore, putting 1 and 1 together, I believe that I picked "single" as marital status.

A “careless mistake”? Wasn't there a requirement to provide spouse’s information on the form when you selected “married” as your marital status? 

I'm sure that I didn't put in any spouse's information on the visa because I was (still am) single at the time...

Are you sure that if one ticks "married" in marital status box, the application will automatically ask for spouse's information? Because if it didn't ask me then perhaps I filled it out correctly...

What’s your basis for AOS? If married to a USC they may ask for divorce certificate based on what you put on your visa application (and yes, they have access to those files). 

I'm dating a USC yes and we are thinking of getting married. 

During the process, USCIS will look at my visa applications right? How can I explain that mistake then?

Hi all, my situation is this: 

I came to the US on a F-1 visa in 2012, studied for 6 years and graduated.

But on my F-1 visa, I put "married" as marital status but I was single at the time (my careless mistake). And now I'm scared that it is viewed as a material misrepresentation by the government.

Can you guys provide some advice/examples on what is a material misrepresentation and if my terrible mistake was one? Thanks.
