The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka has issued a fresh warning for Bangladeshi citizens planning to travel to the United States on B1/B2 visitor visas, outlining strict prohibitions on certain activities.

In a Facebook post shared on Wednesday (March 18), the Embassy detailed a list of restricted actions to ensure travelers remain in compliance with U.S. immigration laws.

Key Restrictions Highlighted
Birth Tourism: The Embassy explicitly stated that the B1/B2 visa cannot be used to travel to the U.S. for the purpose of giving birth. This practice, often referred to as "birth tourism," is used by some to secure U.S. citizenship for their children.

Employment: Travelers are prohibited from engaging in any form of paid work. This includes receiving compensation from a U.S. employer or business entity while on a visitor visa.

Education: The Embassy clarified that individuals on a visitor visa are not permitted to enroll in courses for a degree or academic credit.

Context of Tightened Regulations
This warning comes amid a broader push for stricter immigration and visa enforcement under the second term of President Donald Trump.

The U.S. Embassy’s notice serves as a preemptive measure to ensure applicants understand the limitations of their visa status under the current administration's policies. Violating these terms can lead to visa revocation and future bans on entering the United States.
