Beware…there are a lot of people out there who are more likely to cheat you out of your hard earned money. So, if you are looking forward to hiring an immigration consultant or seeking assistance from an immigration service provider, you need to take some important precautions to protect yourself from immigration fraud.
Make sure that the consultant you hire is honest and legitimate
Always remember that immigration service providers/consultants are not attorneys. They do not work for a Board of Immigration Appeals and they cannot provide legal services.
Do not fall for the trap of guarantee results and faster processing
There are a lot of people who fall under the trap of companies offering guaranteed results or faster processing of their visa applications. You must understand that there is no such possibility that the companies/services providers can get the processing faster than usual. So, stay away from such consultants.
Avoid making payment in cash to an immigration consultant
Always use a personal/certified check or credit card to pay for the services of an immigration service provider or consultant. Also, make sure to get a receipt of the payment made by you. The receipt should have the agency’s or provider’s name and address on it.
