US Embassy in Dhaka issues lifetime entry ban for visa fraudsters

The United States (US) embassy in Dhaka has issued a strong warning that those who commit visa fraud will be banned from the United States for life.

The initiative seeks to identify and penalise individuals who attempt to enter the US under false pretences, as well as those who facilitate or profit from such activities.

In a statement posted on the embassy's Facebook page on Monday, the embassy said, “US government interagency efforts combat fraud and will end illegal immigration. Those who commit visa fraud will be banned from the United States for life. A nation without borders is not a nation. We will pursue criminal charges against those who engage in visa fraud and those who bring in and harbor illegal aliens.”
