The U.S. Embassy in Kampala has issued a stern warning against using fake documents in visa applications, stressing that such actions lead to permanent bans on entering the United States.
In a statement released on Monday, the embassy made it clear that submitting falsified documents is considered fraud and carries serious consequences for the applicant.
"If you submit fake documents with your U.S. visa application, you are committing fraud and risking your future," the embassy warned.

The embassy emphasised its ability to stay ahead of document vendors and adapt to emerging threats, making it more difficult for individuals to bypass the system.
"We stay one step ahead of document vendors, and we adapt to emerging threats," the statement added.
In an effort to protect future travel opportunities, the embassy encouraged applicants to be truthful in their applications. "Protect your future travel opportunities – tell the truth and do not provide fake documents," the embassy concluded.
The embassy's message serves as a reminder that honesty and transparency are crucial when applying for visas. Falsifying documents not only jeopardizes an individual’s chances of obtaining a visa, but it also damages their credibility with U.S. authorities, leading to the permanent loss of the ability to visit the country.
Visa applicants are urged to follow the rules and provide accurate information to ensure a smoother and more successful application process.
