A 53-year-old man is expected to appear before a Master of the High Court in Port of Spain on Monday, for trying to obtain a US visa using a fraudulent job letter bank statement.
The man from Maracas faces charges of intent to defraud and uttering forged documents.
According to police, the documents were originally thought to be genuine, but were discovered to be fraudulent upon further inspection.
The Fraud Squad was contacted, and an investigation was launched into the matter, led by team of officers in collaboration with the US Embassy.
"The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service wishes to advise citizens that, if possible, they should fill out the visa application forms themselves. Additionally, if they need help, make sure the person helping is entering their correct and valid information," the TTPS said in a release.
"The TTPS also advises citizens to avoid visa consultants who offer to improve their chances by adding false information to their application for a fee," the statement said.
The TTPS is also reminding citizens that false information can disqualify someone from obtaining a US Visa and can also result in an arrest.
