The US Embassy in Dhaka has issued a stern warning to Bangladeshi visa applicants, urging them not to provide any false, forged, or misleading information during their visa interviews. In a social media statement released on Saturday, the embassy emphasized that honesty is paramount throughout the application process, warning that dishonesty could lead to severe, long-term consequences for future travel to the United States.

According to the embassy statement, consular officers often possess prior knowledge regarding an applicant's background, including any past immigration law violations, unauthorized stays, or previous visa rejections. Attempting to conceal critical information or presenting fraudulent documentation during the interview will not go unnoticed and could permanently disqualify an applicant from obtaining a US visa under American immigration laws.

The embassy further advised all applicants to carefully complete their visa forms themselves or thoroughly verify all information if using third-party agencies. Officials reiterated that applicants are personally held responsible for the accuracy of their submissions, and relying on deceptive practices or untrustworthy intermediaries can result in a permanent ban from entering the United States.
