The U.S. Embassy in Ghana has issued a firm reminder to Ghanaians about the importance of adhering to U.S. immigration laws, warning that failure to comply would attract punishments.
In a public statement, the Embassy reiterated its commitment to welcoming Ghanaian visitors for education, business, and investment purposes, but emphasized that all applicants must comply with legal processes.
The Embassy warned that any attempt to enter the United States illegally, submit false visa information, work without proper authorization, or overstay a visa carries serious consequences.
“Any attempts to enter the United States illegally, falsify information for a visa, work without proper authorization, or overstay a visa will incur significant penalties.”
Parts of the statement also cautioned against the use of fixers or visa consultants, stating that visa applications can be submitted directly through the official U.S. Embassy website at no extra cost.
“We wish to emphasize that you do not need the services of a fixer or visa consultant to apply for or get a U.S. visa! This can be done directly through our official website at no extra cost. It is important to note that no fixer or consultant can guarantee a visa. Any such promises are deceptive and intended to defraud you,” the Embassy stressed.
