Don’t become a victim of immigration fraud by following these simple tips.
In the State of New York, Immigration Service Providers must:
- Post a Bond with the State (they should also give you this information)
- Provide their clients with an Immigration Service Contract detailing the fees and the services being rendered.
- Ensure you get copies of everything being submitted to USCIS.
- Ensure you sign everything being submitted to USCIS (must be your wet signature).
- Never sign blank forms.
- Checks/Money Orders always should be made payable to the Department of Homeland Security.
*If the person assisting you does not provide you with a contract highlighting the above, this is the first red flag.
Do not hesitate reporting scammers to your local and/or state police authorities!
