London, UK – [Today’s Date] – Crownside Legal, a London-based law firm providing U.S. immigration services to British companies and families, is urging UK citizens and businesses to take extra care when dealing with U.S. immigration authorities. According to Attorney Andrew R Sones, even a simple mistake when answering questions at the border or during an immigration application can result in devastating consequences, including visa denials, permanent inadmissibility, or removal from the United States.

Small Errors, Serious Risks

“Many people assume that if a mistake is minor, immigration officers will overlook it,” explained Sones. “Unfortunately, under Section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), even an unintentional misstatement can be considered a misrepresentation. That can lead to a lifetime bar from entering the United States.”

Incorrect answers might include misstating travel history, providing the wrong employment dates, or misunderstanding the purpose of a visit. These can quickly spiral into suspicions of dishonesty.

Potential Consequences for British Travellers and Businesses

  • Visa Refusals: Inconsistencies between applications and interviews often result in denial.

  • Permanent Bars: A finding of fraud or misrepresentation can make an applicant permanently inadmissible.

  • Loss of Immigration Benefits: Errors may lead to the cancellation of existing U.S. visas, work permits, or green card applications.

  • Deportation: Those already in the United States could face removal proceedings.
