The United States government has warned Nigerians that individuals who engage in visa fraud, including the use of fake documents, will be permanently barred from entering the country.
The disclosure was made on Monday, July 21, by the U.S. Mission in Nigeria on its official X handle.
To combat immigration fraud and clamp down on illegal immigration, the mission noted that those found guilty of committing visa fraud or aiding and harbouring illegal migrants would face criminal prosecution.
The statement reads, “U.S. 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. #VisaWiseTravelSmart #USVisa.”
