A 25-year-old applicant from Andhra Pradesh is facing serious legal action in New Delhi after the United States Embassy detected fraudulent documentation during his non-immigrant visa interview. Following a formal complaint from embassy officials, the Delhi Police registered an FIR against the individual for criminal conspiracy, forgery, and cheating.
Fabricated Academic Degrees And Inflated Financial Claims Discovered
The incident unfolded at the US Embassy in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, where the applicant appeared for his visa interview. To fulfill the visa criteria, he submitted academic credentials from a Rajasthan-based university claiming a Bachelor of Commerce in Computers degree, alongside transcripts, migration forms, and provisional certificates. To establish financial stability, he presented a net worth certificate showing assets worth ₹1.2 crore and bank statements reflecting balances totaling nearly ₹95 lakh. Furthermore, he attached an employment letter indicating a monthly salary of ₹35,000 with over two years of work experience.
Interview Interrogation Exposes Vijayawada Visa Agent Network
During the embassy interview, officials suspected inconsistencies in the documentation and subjected the applicant to detailed questioning. Under scrutiny, the youth confessed that he had never attended the university mentioned in his file and that the academic records were completely forged. He revealed that a visa agent operating out of Vijayawada, identified as Nitin, had procured all the fake educational certificates and guided the creation of altered bank records.
Concealed Family Loans And Familial Employment Misrepresentation
The official complaint highlights additional fraudulent details admitted by the applicant. He disclosed that his actual employment at the company lasted only two months rather than the claimed two and a half years, and that the firm belonged to his uncle, who assisted in inflating the experience record. Additionally, the substantial bank balances shown in the financial statements were temporary funds borrowed by his family specifically for the visa application, with the underlying debt intentionally hidden from embassy evaluators.
Delhi Police Register Case Under Forgery And Fraud Charges
Viewing the submission as a deliberate attempt to mislead US immigration authorities through forged paperwork and misrepresentation, embassy personnel handed the suspect over to local law enforcement. The Chanakyapuri Police Station has officially booked the applicant and initiated investigations to track down the Vijayawada visa agent and any broader forgery syndicates involved in the operation.
