The US Embassy in Dhaka has issued a new advisory for foreign nationals planning to travel to the United States. The notice, published on the embassy’s verified Facebook page on Saturday, warns that misuse or dependence on public welfare benefits funded by US taxpayers could lead to visa cancellation and other strict legal actions.

According to the embassy statement, any foreign visitor who misuses such benefits or becomes reliant on them may face serious consequences, including visa revocation and ineligibility for future visas. The advisory specifically highlights that non-immigrant visa holders must ensure they are financially prepared to cover their own expenses during their stay in the United States.

The embassy’s message emphasizes the importance of self-sufficiency among travelers and aims to prevent misuse of US-funded welfare programs by foreign visitors.
