Press Release Summary = How would your nation react, if an arms dealer with past record of embassy bombing, manages to obtain a visa from any of your consular office, to sneak into your country?
Would you like to block Visa Applicants, appearing in any global Watch Lists, at filing stage itself?
Press Release Body = Visa frauds can pose a severe threat to the integrity of a country's immigration system and to their national security. Consular officers world-wide believe that 50% of all visa applications are fraudulent and the suspected rate of fraud for certain types of applications is closer to 90%.
Immigration fraud for seeking Immigrant/Non-Immigrant status generally falls into three categories - Identity Fraud, Benefit Fraud and Asylum Fraud with Identity Fraud being the most sought after. These facilitate terrorism and organized crime and undermine national economies.
To safeguard against these threats, technology could tighten the visa application filtering mesh and benefit High Commissions, Embassies & Consular Offices to intercept fraudulent & potentially dangerous migrants.
Divas Software's Know Your Visa Applicant (KyVA) framework, based on an IT front-end application and Watch list monitoring back-end database, allows you to identify individuals & entities that are black-listed across hundreds of financial fraud, criminal & terrorist Watch lists. This would hold true even when the names are phonetically miss-spelt in visa applications or in identification & address proof documents, passports, etc.
KyVA front-end browser based application allows you to pick up visa applicant identification, address and other demographic profile data to run a match against the watch-lists database. The application is also capable of storing the scanned images of photo, id & address proof along with electronic images of documents required for obtaining your country's visa. This creates a 360 degree view of each applicant on a single desktop for faster application processing.
KyVA's back-end database at each of your consular offices could be dynamically refreshed through our data file feed, every time any one of the selected watch lists go through a change. This ensures that even the most recently listed undesirable entities are trapped while applying for visa at any of your consular offices.
Furthermore, Visa issuance flags of different risk levels could be assigned on the basis of the applicants' demographic profiles and high risk cases could be created necessitating due diligence through workflow among consular officials.
Finally, on the basis of the applicant's transactions captured at any of the touch-points including phone, fax, email, web, personal visits & visa interview, suspicious behaviour could be tracked and alerts generated. Therefore with the KyVA automation in place, your visa application processes could be further tightened to become a truly fool-proof.
