In coordination with the US Embassy, Bangladesh police have arrested six people who were selling fraudulent entry and exit stamps to US visa applicants.
US visa applicants are responsible for the information they provide on visa application forms and any documents they provide at the interview, said the US Embassy in Dhaka in a media statement on Friday.
The best guidance for prospective visa applicants is to review information on the US embassy website, be prepared for their interview with any supporting documentation, and provide factual and truthful answers during the visa process and interviews, it said.
It is not necessary to use a visa broker to apply for a US visa, the embassy spokesperson Jeff Ridenour said.
US visa applicants are encouraged to complete their own applications online, as all the information needed to make an application can be found on the website.
"We also caution prospective applicants that presenting false information and documents may not only result in a visa denial but may also result in an ineligibility that prevents future travel to the United States," read the statement.
