Cuban citizens applying for visas to visit the United States should be aware of the potential repercussions of providing false information during their consular interviews, the U.S. Embassy in Cuba announced Wednesday.
The diplomatic mission notified consular officials on its official X account that they may review any prior immigration violations of applicants and stressed the importance of honesty in consular interviews.
According to a statement addressed to those wishing to initiate legal proceedings toward the United States: "Consular officers are aware of any past immigration violations. Be truthful in your interview. Lying may result in a ban."
Being dishonest or failing to disclose crucial details during a consular interview can have significant consequences, including visa denial and a multi-year restriction on entry into the country.
This alert comes amid the Trump administration's recent immigration regulations, which purportedly seek to place Cuba on a restricted list of nations whose residents will be barred from entering the United States.
