PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FRAUD *Ask whether you are hiring an attorney (a professional who has a license to practice law) or a BIA accredited representative. *Don’t believe anyone who tells you that there is already a new immigration relief program in place. *Don’t trust anyone who says that they can guarantee you a work permit, visa or a green card. If you suspect fraud, report it to your consulate or the police. *Don’t give money to notarios or scammers who promise to help you apply.
