Does Uscis check your credit report?
USCIS will review the applicant’s U.S credit report and credit score to help determine whether or not they are at a high risk of becoming a public charge. Being deemed a high risk of becoming a public charge could increase the chances that your application will be denied.
Does Uscis know everything about you?
The simple answer, of course, is that it is impossible to know whether USCIS knows if an applicant for a green card or for naturalization is lying to them. The safe assumption is that they DO know everything about you and that, if you lie in the interview, you will be caught. Do not ever lie to the immigration service.
