United States Visa Problems from Identity Theft or Mistaken Identity

U.S. Visa Problems Due to Identity Confusion or Stolen Identity

Are you having United States Visa Problems from Identity Theft or Mistaken Identity?

The United States government maintains some of the most sophisticated security and identity verification systems in the world. These systems are designed to screen visa and green card applicants and prevent individuals with criminal records or other ineligibilities from entering the country. However, these databases are not immune to errors—and in some cases, visa denials may occur due to mistaken or stolen identity, even if the applicant has no criminal history or wrongdoing.

Why Was My Visa Denied?

Each visa application is unique, and a denial can stem from a variety of factors. If your visa has been denied and you suspect identity confusion or fraud may be involved, it’s essential to take immediate action. The first step is to consult with a qualified U.S. immigration attorney to assess your situation and begin investigating the cause of the denial.

How Can I Determine the Cause of the Denial?

One of the most effective tools for uncovering the reason behind a visa denial is filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. This legal process allows you and/or your attorney to obtain records from U.S. government agencies such as the Department of State, Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. These records can help determine whether your identity has been mistakenly linked to someone else or flagged due to a security concern.

Together with your attorney, you can also investigate whether the issue originated in your country of origin or if it occurred within U.S. jurisdiction. In many cases, your legal team can correct the record and help you move forward with your visa or immigration goals.
