The US Embassy warns people against lying during visa meetings. Applicants who give false information or fake papers might face a forever ban from America. Embassy official Elliot Fertik told reporters about these rules last Friday. He said officers mainly make choices based on what people say, not their paperwork.
Visa talks run short at just two or three minutes each. Staff need to handle many people quickly every day. Officers rarely check documents closely but listen carefully to answers instead. Fertik explained that papers matter less than honest talk with staff members. The officer makes quick decisions after hearing responses from each person. Your words carry more weight than any form or letter you bring along.
According to the US Embassy in Ghana, US visa officers care more about what people say than what papers they bring. Consular General Elliot Fertik told reporters that visa interviews last only two or three minutes. The staff must see many people quickly each day.
Officers decide mostly based on what applicants tell them during these short talks. Fertik said officers rarely look at documents, though people should still bring them. He called it wrong to think papers determine who receives visas. Your answers matter most when talking to consular staff. Fertik warned against lying or using fake documents. Such actions can lead to visa denial or a permanent ban from entering America.
