Fraud Prevention
Consequences of Committing Fraud
Committing fraud is a very serious offense with grave consequences. Our Consulate sees many otherwise qualified applicants who wrongly believe that lying is the only way they can obtain a visa. Any person committing misrepresentation or submitting fraudulent documents with their visa applications will be found ineligible and may be subject to a lifetime visa ineligibility.
Be truthful during your visa interview. Do not accept advice to mislead a Consular officer. If you choose to present documents during your interview, make sure that they are truthful and legitimate. Do not pay someone else to get false documents for you. No fee paid to anyone will guarantee the issuance of a visa.

The Fraud Prevention Unit appreciates all efforts to fight visa fraud. By helping to reduce fraud, you are helping to make visa processing easier and more efficient for all applicants.
