How to Avoid Immigration Scams and Fraudulent Advice: Tips from World One Law Group

Have you ever heard of someone paying thousands of dollars to a so-called “expert,” only to be left with a pile of fake promises? Immigration scams are more common than you might think, and the heartbreak they cause can be devastating. The good news? With the right information, you can spot a scam before it happens and ensure your dreams of living and working in the United States are in safe hands.

Red Flags to Watch For

1. Unlicensed Advisors: Only licensed attorneys or DOJ-accredited representatives can provide immigration legal services in the U.S. Be cautious of “notarios” or other individuals offering advice without proper qualifications.
2. Payment Through Unofficial Channels: Beware of anyone asking for fees via gift cards, money orders, or personal transfers like PayPal or Venmo. Always use verified methods for USCIS payments.
3. Guarantees of Success: No one can guarantee approval for visas or green cards. If someone makes promises that sound too good to be true, they likely are.
4. Fake USCIS Communications: Always verify that websites end in “.gov.” Fraudulent websites and emails imitating government communications are common.
5. Unauthorized Charges for Free Services: Forms and instructions from USCIS are free. Scammers often charge fees for these free resources.

How to Stay Safe

• Verify Professionals: Before hiring someone, confirm their credentials. Look for a licensed immigration attorney or DOJ-accredited representative.
• Use Official Resources: Forms and information are available at USCIS.gov. Be wary of websites charging for them.
• Contact the Right Authorities: If you suspect a scam, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
