Watch out for Immigration
Scams! Be careful when
getting someone to help you with your immigration papers.
Don't be fooled by false promises. You could lose your money
AND be removed or deported from the United States.
If someone says:
- We can get you work permits right away
- We offer no-risk immigration
- We can get US visas for you and your family
in a few weeks
- We know people at INS and can get your
papers done quickly
THESE ARE LIES ! DON'T
BELIEVE THEM!

Here are some things you can do to protect
yourself:
- Never sign any blank application papers.
- Never sign any paper or immigration form
that you do not fully understand. (Get someone you trust to
translate it for you.)
- Always demand a written contract for any
immigration services when you are not working with a recognized
agency.
- Do not sign a contract that you don't
understand.
- Watch out for anyone who wants you to pay
immediately.
- Always get copies of the papers prepared
for you.
- Never let anyone keep your original
documents (example: birth certificates, marriage
certificates).
- Get a receipt for any money you pay. (Make
sure it has the among paid, the date paid, your name, and the name
of the person or business that you paid.)
- Never work with someone who will not answer
your questions.
