US Visa Scams: Fake Agents and Fraud Exposed

US visa scams have become a significant issue, with fake agents impersonating government officials to deceive applicants. These scammers often promise faster processing times for a fee, exploiting people's eagerness to secure visas. Recently, Delhi police arrested 108 fake agents involved in visa fraud at Indira Gandhi Airport, highlighting the growing problem.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued multiple warnings to help people identify and avoid these fraudsters. They advise applicants to stay alert for communications through unofficial channels and report any suspicious activity to the proper authorities.

Fraudulent visa agents often offer deals that sound too good to be true, such as expediting visa processes for extra payment. USCIS has urged applicants to be cautious of these offers, especially if they require non-standard procedures or unofficial payment methods.

Victims of these scams are encouraged to report the incidents to local law enforcement or the Federal Trade Commission. This effort aims to combat immigration fraud and protect individuals from falling prey to these fraudulent practices. For more details, check the full report on the issue.
