Is there a place to anonymously report someone who has indicated their intentions or overstaying their visitor visa? A friend has asked about this, this distant relative  of theirs has also lied on their visa application about criminal background and has some serious criminal history(rape, battery etc, alcohol related offenses). My friend is concerned about the relative coming to the United States due to their violent history (seems friend may have been victim to this person).

Contact the embassy so they are aware of the person applying.  Send them evidence or their criminal history to back up your claim.

 

Send a letter to CBP, just in case something slips and the person gets a visa. CBP can question him on attempted entry to the US.

Report them to CBP as soon as you can.  CBP will flag the person for questioning.  Best to provide them with any hard evidence you have regarding the person's criminal past.

Your friend surely does know a lot about this person lol. Someone applied for a visa and was approved but somehow your friend had access to their DS160 to know what lies the applicant told or not. Your friend also knows about their intention to overstay the visa. Your friend also knows about this person’s intended travel date. Now your friend doesn’t want this person to come to the US because of their past criminal history, really? Really now? It has to be one of two things… 

Anyways, I believe you got answers to your friend’s questions already. Good luck

Hi Oko,

 

I see what you are implying and that’s not the case. You don’t have to have access to ones DS 160 to know that someone with a serious criminal history likely lied on it to get a tourist visa. As I mentioned, it’s a friends distant family member/relative .

 

It is very common for people to share their plans with other family members and well in Africa “word spreads”. 
 

dont know what the purpose of your post was but to imply I am lying which I have no reason to do. Thanks for your response, I guess? Good luck to you. 
 

focusing on trying to prove a point or prove someone is being deceptive rather than trying to give guidance/feedback. I don’t get it.

I will let her know. Evidence should be easy, there were newspaper articles and coverage on one of the incidents.

Didn't you ask about this situation a few months back?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Hi Timona,

 

no I didn’t. I’ve asked questions about tourist visas in general but not this question for this specific situation.

Thanks y’all. She was able to submit a tip online to CBP, apparently she also has a police report in addition to the news articles. She said she couldn’t figure out how to attach the evidence but said she did leave her contact info for follow up. 
 

thanks again to those who gave great advice:
