No visas to be issued until security issues addressed: US Embassy

The United States (US) Embassy in Dhaka on Thursday said lying or providing fake information can lead to a permanent ban from entering the US.

The US Department of State remains committed to upholding the highest standards of national security in its visa adjudication process, said the embassy.

"No visas are issued until all security concerns are fully resolved," said the embassy in a brief message posted on its verified Facebook page.

The US Embassy said they do not issue visas to applicants who submit fraudulent documents, and they face legal consequences under US law and in the country where they applied for the visa.
