Scam Awareness

Immigration fraud is common. Be cautious if someone:

• promises a guaranteed visa or approval
• asks you to pay government fees by personal transfer, gift cards or crypto
• asks for your original passport or keeps your documents
• pretends to be a government official or calls threatening you
• is an unlicensed office offering “legal advice”

How to protect yourself

• Verify the license of anyone representing you
• Pay government fees only directly on official websites
• Keep copies of all your documents
• Ask for a written agreement on fees and services
