A:
It's understandable to be concerned about how this might impact your green card application. Purchasing items without realizing the restrictions typically doesn't equate to a false claim of citizenship, especially if there was no intent to deceive.
USCIS background checks focus more on significant indicators of eligibility and integrity. Small transactions like buying merchandise are unlikely to be flagged or have a major impact on your application. However, it's important to be honest in your application and disclose any relevant information if asked.
Moving forward, ensure that all the information you provide is accurate and truthful. If you have further concerns, consulting with an immigration professional can provide additional peace of mind and guidance tailored to your situation.
