False Information on the Application

[dylancole101]

Hey There,

I overstayed on my Tourist visa for about 8 years but I fall under Unlawful Precesnce (returned in 180 days of turning 18). Now I am back to my country and I applied for a visa again but I lied on the application, the application asked:

Have you ever been to U.S "Yes"
How lond "2 Months"

I want to show them a strong proof that I stayed there. I have an americanized accent that can be a strong proof and my visa entry of 8 years but they will think that I lied on the application ...

How long does U.S keep this application information for? I heard U.S Counslate don't keep Information until they issue a U.S Visa, except Finger Prints.

Please Advise,
Thanks!

They keep all the information forever.

Lying on the application is a big problem.
