in 2004 i was in ghana and applied for a student visa at the embassy in ghana bus was denied for luck of funds...i raised enogh funds, applied again in 2005 and was denied again..finally in 2006 i met an agent who promised me could get me a full scholarship in a school if i pay him a little fee..i did pay him and later he brought me an i-20 form and admission letter from a college with full scholaship..
i applied for the visa again and the embassy contacted the school.i then realsied the academic documents the agent used to apply for the school for me wa fake..although i used the corect one to apply for the visa...the embassy whiles contacting the school, placed my application on hold..they told me they will call me but never did..but eventually got to know the dosuments the agent used was fake and the embassy kne about it..
it took one moneth and still didnt get a call from the embassy, i left ghana for travel in japan and now mrried to a japanese and living in japan..
my problem is, in cae i win this dv lottery, will i be issued a visa based on my past record?
have i been baned from entering usa/ i really dont know..please help me out with ideas.
thanks
For using a fake document, the consequences are extremely serious. You may be found permanently ineligible for a visa if they judged you knowingly and willfully falsified or concealed a material fact or used a false document. So have you had any writing response from the US embassy in respect to your refusal. If they have sent a letter, it will specify whether you have been banned or not.
Anyway, there is still some ray of hope.
