The United States Embassy in Abuja has issued a strong warning to Nigerians regarding the severe repercussions of visa fraud.
The Embassy conveyed this warning in a message on its verified X account on Monday, emphasizing that providing false information or submitting counterfeit documents can lead to permanent visa bans.
“Visa fraud carries serious repercussions. Misrepresenting facts or supplying fake documents can result in permanent visa bans under U.S. immigration law. This implies that you will never be able to travel to the U.S.,” it stated.
This warning was reportedly issued following a meeting between U.S. Ambassador Richard Mills and Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar, during which they discussed various areas of cooperation between the two nations.
The discussions are taking place in light of the ongoing diplomatic focus on Nigeria’s internal security challenges.
It is worth noting that a few months ago, several U.S. lawmakers condemned attacks on communities, particularly in the North and Middle Belt, as significant violations of religious freedom.
The U.S. Congress has also advocated for enhanced collaboration between the U.S. and Nigerian governments to safeguard vulnerable populations.
