False lawyers Before entrusting your papers to a ‘specialist’, it is better that you verify that it is not a processor or a notary. In the US, notaries and notaries public are not lawyers. They cannot help you with immigration. They will say that they can help you and ask you to pay them. But they can’t help you.

Sometimes people posing as lawyers just charge you money and don’t get the results you need, wasting valuable time. Make sure you are dealing with a state registered attorney. For that you can call 311, or visit these sites, where you can confirm it: NY Court System or AILA.ORG

Fake Immigration Officials You may receive a phone call, email or regular mail from an immigration ‘official’ or ‘office’ that seems legitimate. They could ask you for sensitive information such as your passport number, credit cards or bank information… to ‘help’ you with your immigration process.

This information is then used to steal identities, establish new credit cards, and access victims’ bank accounts. Never give out that kind of information over the phone.

But, to access said benefit, they must first pay a fee. Another way these scammers operate is by claiming to work for the IRS and asking for the bank account number to deposit the grant money. But the special subsidy does not exist.

Fraudulent marriages Some people offer to marry immigrants in exchange for a certain amount of money and thus ‘fix their papers’, in exchange for money. But, after collecting the agreed amount, they do not fix anything.

But there is something else: In the US, fraudulent marriages are a serious crime that carries criminal consequences and penalties for both parties involved in the marriage.

Employment Agency Scam Employment agency scams involve companies that charge a fee to secure employment for individuals and often also promise them green cards or other immigration sponsorships. Immigrants will pay the fee but get nothing in return.
