The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka has issued a stern warning regarding fraudulent practices in visa applications, stating that submitting fake documents or concealing information may result in a permanent ban from entering the United States. In certain cases, criminal charges may also be filed.

In an official alert, the embassy emphasized that applicants are responsible for providing accurate information and maintaining transparency throughout the visa process. It also noted that withholding information, including data from social media, could lead to visa rejection.

Applicants have been strongly advised to avoid relying on brokers or fraudsters and to submit their own information truthfully and independently.

Additionally, as of July 10, it is mandatory to include all social media handles used by applicants in the visa application form.
