If I understand correctly, you are wondering what the effect of a Costa Rican immigration overstay/violation would have on your United States immigrant status. Generally, the US will only consider your conduct as it applies to your resident alien status (and not any other country's issues).

Violating the immigration law of Costa Rica will not affect your US immigration status. Just don't stay out of the US for more than 180 days.
