United State to impose life ban for visa fraud

 

The United States on Monday threatened to impose  life ban on anyone caught committing visa fraud.

The US Mission in Nigeria issued this warning on its  X page. 

The US also said criminal charges would be pressed against those who engage in visa fraud and those who bring in and harbor illegal aliens. 

The message reads: “US 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.”

The latest is part of ongoing clampdown on immigrants and intending migrants to the US.

Meanwhile, the US Mission has urged its citizens residing in Nigeria, to comply immediately with new immigration directives from the Nigerian government. 

The U.S. Embassy in Abuja in a statement on its website, advised all Americans residing in Nigeria to comply with the new directives to avoid penalties that may be imposed for non-compliance.
