STATEMENT OF WORK

2024 Visa Fraud Prevention Campaign Project Description

The U.S. Embassy San Salvador-s Consular Section seeks to design and implement a media campaign to educate Salvadorans interested in working temporarily in the United States about how to recognize fraudulent U.S. temporary work visa offers (H-2 visas) and inform them of the benefits and legitimate methods and sources on how to apply for a U.S. temporary work visa.

Areas of focus:

Understand the legitimate H-2 visa recruitment and application process; Recognize the methods scammers use to attract interested workers like identifying fraudulent work visa offers.

Examples of methods used by scammers:

Promise victims work visas without the interested worker having a valid passport; Communicate solely through social media or WhatsApp chats falsely representing themselves as agents of the U.S. Embassy; Send victims QR codes leading them to false websites purporting to contain a worker-s “approved visa” in exchange for a fee; Send screen shots of the interested worker-s “approved visa” and a false U.S. social security card in the worker-s name; Request large sums of money via bank transfers or remittances to continue with the process.

In contrast, the legitimate process:

Requires a valid passport; Requires a contract with a legitimate U.S. company who is approved to hire foreign workers; A legitimate recruiter or employer is able to explain all aspects of the job, location, salary, and work time frame; Does not require any money from the applicant beyond possibly the $205 visa fee - which must be reimbursed by the U.S. employer upon starting work in the United States; Requires payment of the visa fee through official U.S. Embassy pay sites, not payment through bank transfers or to private parties.

The Consular Section aims to educate applicants on how to avoid becoming victims of fraud and ensure the H-2 temporary work ...
