how to recognize immigration fraud
TRANSCRIPT
HOW TO RECOGNIZE
IMMIGRATION FRAUD
Immigration
fraud is a silent
epidemic
sucking the life
blood out of
many deserving
immigrant
families.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
There are
common
patterns of
immigration
scams.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Knowing these patterns can
help you and your family avoid
becoming another victim of
immigration fraud.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
The more you learn what to look
out for, the less you remain
vulnerable to the schemes of
immigration con artists.

HERE ARE THE
5 MOST COMMON
IMMIGRATION
SCAMS
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
FALSE FRIENDS
1
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Most immigrants to the United States
are often defrauded by people they hire
to help them: friends, lawyers,
immigration consultants, visa
consultants, translators, and notarios.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Many people
who offer
unsolicited
advice might not
be able to help
you and your
family properly –
and that's if they
don't have a
hidden motive. http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Honest immigration lawyers and
paralegals are not likely to approach
you. They're usually busy helping to
guide others to follow the best path to
permanent residency.

IRON CLAD
PROMISES
2
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Nobody can ever guarantee
you a 100% outcome.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Immigration experts, consultants
and attorneys alike,
are not in a position
to guarantee an absolute victory.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
When you meet an advisor who
makes definitive promises, he
probably doesn't care if you take
actions that could destroy your case
permanently.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
On the other hand, when you choose
to hire someone who discusses all
your options honestly, you increase
your chances for immigration success.

INSIDER
CONNECTIONS
3
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
When you’re hoping to enter the U.S.
legally, it’s tempting to listen
when you meet someone who says,
“I have a friend in the Immigration Service who can help.”
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
They may even offer to help
you present a bribe to a
U.S. government official.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Attempting to bribe a
government official is
considered a crime.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
If you're
solicited by
one of these
insider con
artists, walk
away as fast
as you can.

MINOR DETAILS
4
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
When it comes to submitting
documents, refuse to lie or make up
facts on any documents you submit
to the United States government.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Immigrant agents are
trained to spot false
facts and omissions.
.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Most likely, if you try to lie, they will
learn the truth and you will be denied
residency – and deported - with little
hope of reversing the decision.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
You might even
be charged with
criminal fraud,
leading to jail
time and hefty
fines.

UNQUALIFIED
ADVISORS
5
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Perhaps the most
important
challenge in your
immigration
journey is choosing
an advisor who is
truly qualified to
help.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Carefully select a representative who truly
understands immigration law.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Lawyer websites are important
clues. They provide insights on
an attorney’s experience
and areas of specialty.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
If you decide
instead to hire a
non-lawyer
immigration
specialist, ask
for references
and check them.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
It's better to be safe
than sorry.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
CONCLUSION
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Those who prey
on immigrants will
assume you are
scared.
They expect you
to be too afraid to
seek legal advice
or report them to
legal authorities.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Your best protection is
to know how to recognize
the signs of fraud before
you hire someone to help you.
http://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com
Then - and only then - should
you choose an attorney (or
immigration assistant) to help
guide you and your family.
