Protect Yourself from Immigration Fraud

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have published a brochure cautioning people against immigration fraud. The pamphlet contains important information that can assist you in making the right decision when seeking help with your immigration application or petition. The brochure also illustrates the following seven cautions that can protect you from immigration fraud:

• DO NOT sign blank applications, petitions, or other papers.
• DO NOT sign documents that you do not understand.
• DO NOT sign documents that contain false statements or inaccurate information.
• DO NOT make payments to a representative without getting a receipt.
• DO obtain copies of all documents prepared or submitted for you.
• DO verify an attorney’s or accredited representative’s eligibility to represent you.
• DO report any representative’s unlawful activity to USCIS, State Bar Associations and/or State Offices of Attorneys General.
