If you're in the U.S. and a "government agent" told you to use iMessage, you are 100% being scammed. No way they would accept anything less secure than a fax message or a document portal that looks like it was set up in the 90's.

It was certainly not a scam as the process completed successfully after iMessage-ing the required documents.

It wasn't the US though, yeah, but rather some american working for a foreign country's government.
