Haiti, One of the Countries with Highest U.S. Visa Fraud Cases

The US Consul General has urged that every visa applicant must provide only truthful information on their visa applications. The US department does not authorize any intermediary person or authority for assisting aspiring applicants or to receive any fees on behalf of the department or receive any money to provide information for sharing specific knowledge or information about visa. Every applicant should contact the concerned US department directly for all visa updates. Any person claiming to work for the U.S. Embassy over the telephone should be considered as fraudulent. The U.S department encourages common Haitian people to avoid these criminals and visit the consular officer at the U.S department and discuss about his plan to visit the United States. This is the only way; there is no other way of getting a visitor visa. Applicants for U.S. visas are required to appear in person for a scheduled visa interview at the U.S. Embassy.

Every visa applicant must pay the exact amount to the SogeXpress only as application fees and another at the US Embassy in exchange of the visa. In the last year, over 100,000 Haitians were issued U.S tourist visa. The Embassy had processed over 80,000 visa requests and the section responsible for issuing immigrant visas, had reportedly issued over 11,000 visas.
