I recently read a post in which people were heavily debating about RR and statutory questions, specifically about visa refusal and so on.. @legalfalcon or anybody else, for that matter: Which process is being used to verify that one applicant was refused a visa 15 years ago or last year from, let's say, the US, France, England, Germany or Nigeria? I can understand them verifying that a police certificate is authentic but visa refusal?? To the same token, do they contact banks to verify the banking info that was provided?
As far as visa refusals are concerned, they can check it very easily thanks to immigration data sharing agreements, like the one between the United States and Canada for example.
