During an interview on Starr Chat, Nana Ama Mcbrown took the opportunity to urge the US embassy in Ghana to lift the ban that was placed on her following her deportation from the United States years ago.
She disclosed that her deportation occurred in 2001 when her uncle, Papa Kofi McBrown, sought to bring her to the US to showcase her talents.
Since that incident, Mcbrown said she has encountered multiple rejections whenever she has applied for entry into the country.
In her appeal, she requested that the embassy review her history and recognize her sincere intentions.
“I’ll beg them to please reconsider me, look at my records, I am not a bad person. I’ve never been a bad person because I really know what I’ve done and I want to correct it,” she said during the interview aird on GHOne.
She elaborated on the reasons behind the high rate of visa application rejections, attributing it to the fear of potential denial that leads many individuals to provide false information in their applications.
“This thing about Ghanaians. When we are going to the embassy, we are very scared. We start shaking and for that matter, we keep lying.
“Sometimes we feel like when we see a White person and we don’t get the visa, we are going to die or the person will kill us. Because of that, we always keep losing or missing our chances,” she explained.
McBrown urged Ghanaians to uphold integrity during the visa application process, emphasizing that contemporary systems now capture all information, including fingerprints.
“Now, if you’re going to the embassy, things have changed. Our details, fingerprints, everything is there. So we should do things right.
“I will say to everybody: go genuinely. Because the records will be there forever. And if you keep lying, it will go against you,” McBrown urged.
