High fraud nations related to US visas

[verysadguy 170]

I was trying to find a decent list of fraud referrals by nation. Most of the posts were speculation, but this one appears to be from the GAO.

In 2010, the latest year that could be examined, the top 10 countries for cases referred to fraud prevention units for closer scrutiny were China, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, India, Brazil, Ghana, Cambodia, Jamaica, Peru, and Ukraine. Most cases involve applications for non-immigrant visas. About 74,000 cases were referred worldwide, and 22 percent were confirmed to be fraudulent.

Anyone else have links to solid analytics?

I'm surprised to not see Vietnam, Philippines, Russia, Pakistan, and Nigeria on here.

All middle eastern countries and several African countries are included as well .

The other six countries among State’s 2005 Fraud Ranking included: Bangladesh, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nigeria, and the Philippines.

Please provide your source. I'm trying to keep this scholarly and verifiable.

I have never seen an official ranking, the usual comments I have seen have been directed to immigrant visas with Lagos being in its own category, most of the ones you mention would be in the next.

I did notice that China is now number one for issued tourist visas, used to be Mexico.

This is a cool example! No return rates in Australia. Look at the countries with high numbers.

Boiler's response is good.

I asked the question "what constitutes a high-fraud country?" to an immigration attorney several years ago. He had served as a consul in two vastly different posts. His answer to me: "Any poor country."

Think about that.

Think about that.

As a blanket assessment I've heard that too, but I'm looking for some solid statistics and analytics.

And a better terminology might be repressed or oppressed nation, not simply poor.

Like Greece?

This question has been asked for years here on VJ. Your best source of information is USCIS. Everyone else is just guessing.

I'll ask the question that many others will be wondering: What do you hope to do with the "solid data?"

That's because we only leave Australia for love, there is no other reason to leave it because it's a beautiful country lol

This site is for information. However, it is full of opinion without fact, and lots of conjecture and what if's.

I think it would be good for visitors of the site to see some reasonable facts regarding immigration fraud.
