With increased scrutiny of the entire immigration process in the US, which starts with submitting applications for a visa or a Green Card, mistakes by applicants can cost dearly. But mistakes are not always incomplete forms or missing information, warned immigration attorney John Q Khosravi. According to him, the number one mistake people make in those applications is: lying.
Many applicants may not lie knowingly; it could be just an omission but the USCIS is watching everything, Khosravi said.
