As America tightened its grip, pigeon hunters adopted a new way of looting, the craze of going abroad can prove costly

US Visa and Agent Fraud News abroad: Due to the government's crackdown on illegal pigeon hopping, agents have now started extorting lakhs of rupees by offering permanent citizenship and jobs in European countries and countries including Canada. The most important thing is that despite the visa process being easy in European countries, the youth living in small towns are being misled and extorted money from them. Then CID crime officers got information about some agents. On the basis of which investigation has been started.

Many agents went underground after crackdown on pigeon hunting in America

The revelation of widespread pigeonholing to gain illegal entry into the United States has led many agents to go underground. Whereas illegal business agents have started charging lakhs of rupees in the name of visa and other processes by guaranteeing permanent citizenship and job to rural people in European countries to send them to America. Which includes Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal and the US. Including European countries. Agents from countries like UK and Canada have started new scams.

In general the visa process of European and other countries is easier than that of the US

Generally, the visa process of European and other countries is easier than that of America and employment and permanent citizenship are also available with normal conditions. People in big cities are aware of this. But, taking advantage of the lack of specific information to the youth of small towns and rural areas, the agents give guarantee of job and charge up to Rs 50 lakh by saying that there are better opportunities in European countries instead of America. Youth living in small towns and rural areas of North Gujarat and Saurashtra are particularly targeted. In which some youths were found charging more money from the agents after reaching Finland and Denmark. CID Crime has also got a lead in this regard. Which is being investigated.

Craze for going abroad increased!

In this regard, a senior official said that the investigation into the American visa scam is still going on. Meanwhile, fraud is done by sending it to European countries. There is a possibility that some major explanation regarding this will emerge in the near future. VSF Global Soumik Mitra, who officially handles visa work on behalf of the governments of 16 countries including European countries, said that due to the complex process of citizenship and work permit in America, the craze for jobs and studies from India to other countries has increased. Because of this, there has been a 32 per cent increase in visa applications from Gujarat alone following the Covid situation. Some elements are taking advantage of this. Therefore, visa processing should always be done as per the certified agency and government rules. So that you can avoid becoming a victim of fraud. The second most important thing is that no agent or agency is officially authorized to issue visa to anyone. Therefore, it is important to approach the visa process carefully.
