Nobody can guarantee you'll get a visa or Green Card. If someone promises this, it's a scam.
Verify your attorney
Key stepConfirm they are a licensed attorney with their state bar association.
Beware of 'notarios'
Key stepIn the U.S., a notario is NOT a lawyer. They cannot give you legal advice.
Don't pay in cash
Always pay by check or card and ask for a receipt. Keep all receipts.
Report fraud
If you think you were a victim, report to the FTC (1-877-382-4357) or your state attorney general.
