Immigration fraud for seeking Immigrant/Non-Immigrant status generally falls intothree categories - Identity Fraud, Benefit Fraud and Asylum Fraud with IdentityFraud being the most sought after. These facilitate terrorism and organized crimeand undermine national economies.
To safeguard against these threats, technology could tighten the visa applicationfiltering mesh and benefit High Commissions, Embassies & Consular Offices tointercept fraudulent & potentially dangerous migrants.
Divas Software s Know Your Visa Applicant (KyVA) framework, based on an IT front-endapplication and Watch list monitoring back-end database, allows you to identifyindividuals & entities that are black-listed across hundreds of financial fraud,criminal & terrorist Watch lists. This would hold true even when the names arephonetically miss-spelt in visa applications or in identification & address proofdocuments, passports, etc.
KyVA front-end browser based application allows you to pick up visa applicantidentification, address and other demographic profile data to run a match againstthe watch-lists database. The application is also capable of storing the scannedimages of photo, id & address proof along with electronic images of documentsrequired for obtaining your country s visa. This creates a 360 degree view of eachapplicant on a single desktop for faster application processing.
KyVA s back-end database at each of your consular offices could be dynamicallyrefreshed through our data file feed, every time any one of the selected watch listsgo through a change. This ensures that even the most recently listed undesirableentities are trapped while applying for visa at any of your consular offices.
Furthermore, Visa issuance flags of different risk levels could be assigned on thebasis of the applicants demographic profiles and high risk cases could be creatednecessitating due diligence through workflow among consular officials.
Finally, on the basis of the applicant s transactions captured at any of thetouch-points including phone, fax, email, web, personal visits & visa interview,suspicious behaviour could be tracked and alerts generated. Therefore with the KyVAautomation in place, your visa application processes could be further tightened tobecome a truly fool-proof.
