They may know, but won't really care, the system won't flag you. And because of significant false positive/negatives, unless you aren't being actively sought by authorities, it will be ignored.
this really pisses me off. First I believe borders should be open. But for spouses, there shouldn't be any questions, the guarantor is the national spouse, the visa has to be granted automatically.
I don't get it? Having an American spouse means that getting a green card is extremely easy, the first major step already taken. It's more than logical as an American, that you want to bring your spouse to your home country.
You might need to authenticate copies of your passport and translations. But the passport itself cannot be "authenticated", as it is (should be!?) authentic!
