US Visa Fraud: Warning Signs for Bangladeshi Applicants

US Visa Fraud: Warning Signs for Bangladeshi Applicants

Genuine US visa fraud usually doesn't mean someone forged an entire visa stamp from scratch — that's difficult and risky. It more often means an agent misrepresents an interview outcome, alters a supporting document (bank statement, admission letter, sponsorship letter), or charges large sums for guaranteed "visa approval" that no legitimate consultant can promise.

Common patterns

  • Guarantees of visa approval in exchange for a large upfront fee — no consultant can guarantee a US visa outcome
  • Doctored bank statements or fake sponsorship letters presented as your own financial proof
  • A "visa approved" message sent before your actual interview has taken place
  • Pressure to book non-refundable flights before your visa is confirmed

How to check your own status

The US Department of State's Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) lets applicants check their own visa application status using their case number. This is the most direct way to confirm where your application actually stands, independent of what any agent tells you.

Where a document check helps

If you're relying on a consultant for supporting paperwork — offer letters, sponsorship documents, financial statements — a forensic check of those documents for digital tampering and internal inconsistencies can catch problems before your interview, not after a refusal.

Probashi Visa Checker is an independent fraud-risk assessment service, not a government body, embassy or recruiting agency. We cannot guarantee a visa is genuine — only the issuing government has the final word. What we provide is evidence: automated screening plus a human specialist's official-source lookup and written verdict.
