The United States Government has issued a strong warning to Nigerians against engaging in visa fraud, stressing that offenders will face severe and irreversible consequences. The caution was delivered in a post shared on Monday, December 15, 2025, by the U.S. Embassy in Abuja via its official X account, drawing renewed attention to the dangers of falsifying visa applications.

According to the embassy, submitting fake documents or providing false information in an attempt to secure a U.S. visa can result in a permanent visa ban. Such a sanction would bar the affected individual from entering the United States for life, regardless of future circumstances or applications, under U.S. immigration law.

“Visa fraud has serious consequences. Lying or providing fake documents can lead to permanent visa bans under U.S. immigration law. This means you will never go,” the embassy stated. The warning comes amid ongoing efforts by U.S. authorities to curb immigration fraud and ensure the integrity of the visa application process.
