The main immigration agency

The US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is the branch of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in charge of processing the country’s immigration applications and requests.

This entity assists applicants in all types of processes, be it:

• Business Immigration.
• Requests for political asylum or refuge.
• Family Immigration.
• Tourist visas.
• Immigration appeals.
• Application for extension of visas.
• Adjustment of immigration status.

Other than that, the USCIS virtual platform offers multiple tools for applicants to follow the proper processes for their immigration cases.

The USCIS also has a section dedicated exclusively to report and avoid fraud by bogus entities that promise to help applicants in exchange for immediate payments.

The USCIS warns about potential fraud scenarios

On Tuesday, August 11, 2020, the USCIS released an official statement through Twitter, warning applicants about possible fraud.

Fraudulent entities typically use similar methods. For instance:

• Promises of immediate immigration responses.
• Promises to speed up immigration processes.
• Offer to renew immigration permits.
• Immediate adjustment of status.
• Immediate legal residences.
• Emails requesting payments.
• Phone calls requesting payments.

You can recognize if it is a fraud attempt because they ask for immediate payments or bank transfers before you even start the process.

The USCIS top recommendation

In the Twitter post, the USCIS advises applicants to ensure they have the “right legal advice & assistance.”

The USCIS explains that due to current delays in its processes, immigrants tend to fall into the traps of fraudulent entities in the hope that applications will be expedited and that they will be able to obtain a positive response to their immigration requests.

In addition to that, the global Coronavirus pandemic lengthened the waiting times of some immigration processes and fraudulent organizations are taking advantage of this opportunity to deceive innocent immigrants.
