He lamented that many people who seek the assistance of middlemen are often put under scrutiny about their visas only for them to give answers that prove they played no role in the visa acquisition.
"If you have obtained a visa and plan on coming here, one ensure you know how you obtained the visa. Many people have visas but they do not know how they obtained those visas. And so when they are asked one or two questions about the visas then their answers go south."
Lawyer Okyere Darko added that such people upon arrival at the airports are made to go through secondary examination, deported or put before an immigration judge.
"When it happens like that, they would have to go through secondary examination. They may either deny entry, put you in jail and put you on the next flight or you have to see an immigration judge."
He also advised Ghanaians in the US residing at the border towns to be very careful since US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are very active in those areas.
At the time of writing this report, the video had raked in over 800 likes and 16 comments.
